| The condition of this new war rug is excellent. This rug is extremely well knotted and truly stands out as such. This will be a long lasting and hard wearing rug. The colors and drawing are exceptional in this rug and the colors are used very nicely in the flags as well as the dove. The helicopter is very well drawn in this war rug as well. The tower on the left is haunting while interesting at the same time because on the very top rear it is drawn with the steel melting and peeling back. There is the image of people falling in this 9/11 war rug. |
