This Afghan war rug presents a fascinating narrative through its geometric battlefield motifs and weaponry designs. The field displays traditional war imagery with tanks, helicopters, and Kalashnikov rifles rendered in bold geometric forms against a rich backdrop. The lively mix of reds, blues, and ivory creates a striking visual contrast that tells the story of Afghanistan's recent history through the weaver's perspective.

Crafted by skilled Afghan artisans using time-honored hand-knotting techniques, this rug showcases the resilience and creativity of traditional weavers. Made from durable Ghazni wool with natural dyes, the tight knot density ensures longevity while the authentic materials provide the rich texture characteristic of genuine Afghan rugs. Each knot represents hours of meticulous work, creating a piece that combines historical documentation with artistic expression.

At 2' by 2'8", this compact rug works beautifully as an accent piece in smaller spaces, beside a reading chair, or as part of a layered rug arrangement. The size makes it ideal for entryways, bathrooms, or as a distinctive focal point in modern and traditional interiors alike. This smaller format rug offers the perfect introduction to collecting these unique historical textiles.
