This compelling War Rug showcases Afghanistan's contemporary weaving tradition through bold geometric motifs that chronicle decades of conflict. The deep red field displays military imagery including helicopters, rifles, and armored vehicles rendered in traditional tribal style. Ivory and navy accents create striking contrast against the burgundy background, while angular borders frame scenes that transform historical events into powerful folk art.

Woven by Afghan artisans in the mountainous regions surrounding Ghazni, this piece represents wool-on-cotton construction using time-honored hand-knotting techniques. The high-quality Ghazni wool provides exceptional durability and rich color saturation, while cotton foundations ensure the rug lies flat and maintains its shape for generations. At 60-70 knots per square inch, the tight weave captures intricate details that make each War Rug a unique historical document.

This 3' 5" x 4' 10" size works beautifully as an accent piece in studies, entryways, or beside furniture where its powerful imagery can be properly appreciated. The compact proportions suit modern apartments and traditional homes alike, particularly spaces decorated in neutral tones that allow the rug's dramatic narrative to take center stage.
