| The condition of this new war rug is perfect. This rug has a banner across the top that shows the flags of Afghanistan and America united by a white dove carrying an olive branch. Both flags are drawn extremely well. The wonderful colors can be seen in these and throughout the rug. Also of note, is the bomb heading toward the Tora Bora mountain region and a symbol of an explosion below. The squares that are drawn in the mountains represent the caves that our Special Forces are searching one by one as the US hunts for Osama bin Laden. |
