| The condition of this new war rug is perfect. This is made with Ghanzi wool, the finest wool in Afghanistan and completely hand-spun. This is a pictorial Afghani war rug depicting the Soviet-puppet government during their invasion. The image of the hand dripping blood and reaching into the depths of Afghanistan is beautifully done as the hand turns subtly into the hammer and sickle. Some of the finer points of this rug, besides its super quality wool, would be the rug's nice colors and its Farsi text. |
