The top 30 inches of this rug has a dark blue field color. This rug features a secondary design element that is not seen in its companion. Running down the middle are small burgundy armored personnel carriers. Nice touch. Both of these rugs are very attractive. The design is dense so the war motifs do not immediately jump out.
