 | Lion Rug This older rug shows some wear. Also, knotting is atypical, knots are small and compact, but look oddly pixilated from back. The color blue is exceptional, ant typical of rugs like this with good wool and fine knotting. | 1466 |

 | Camel Medallion Herati Afghan War Rug with Tank Border This newish rug is in very good condition. This is an excellent rug. The wool is soft, fine and dense. It is well knotted. It has a most pleasurable sensation underfoot. The sheen is silky and lustrous. It represents the best kind of Baluchi rug from western Afghanistan. The pattern of this rug is unique and does not fit into any style. The tank border is reminiscent of ""Two Ewer"" rugs or ""Golden Border"" rugs, but the we have never seen this kind of medallion in any Afghan Baluchi rug, war or otherwise. The main camel medallion color is undyed wool, probably camel wool. The smaller square medallions are very unique, and the brown outer portion is again undyed wool. The colors, from the camel to the green centers are beautifully keyed together. The different sized motifs throughout the rug make a strong composition. The large motifs, the camel medallions, contrast well with the small motifs in the field and the medium sized tank motifs on the border. Simply, a great rug. | 318 |
 | Afghan Map rug with Sun Rising Over Mountains - No Weapons The condition of this new Afghan rug is perfect. This rug showcases the beautiful Tora Bora mountain region with the sun seen between two peeks and various wildlife and flowers. The colors used are wonderfully vivid and the two shades of blue used next to each other are particularly nice. By all technical means, this has no commonly known ""war"" images of weapons. However, we feel they are important art forms to be included in a war rug collection. This is because these rugs are derived from war rugs, and also because many maps were first charted for reasons either for war, or as a result of war. Territory and border disputes are often the only, and oldest, reasons for war. | 298 |
 | Black Tank Border Runner w/ Airplane Burka This rug is one of a pair of war rugs in a runner format from the Soviet era. Both are very beautiful and in good condition given their age. Both rugs have all the best qualities on looks for in war rugs. They have super wool, excellent sheen, interesting and unique patterns, interesting structural elements, and rich colors. The overall condition of this rug is very good, particularly given its Soviet era vintage. The condition issues are: there are a couple spots where a single knot is missing (see pictures), mostly from ""sarnach"" (means ""head of the tread, sarnach are spots where warp of weft threads have been tied to extend there length and there is either a small bump where the knot is or a tuft of foundation thread sticking up through pile.), there is low pile on one end, some of the ornamental fringe is missing (see pictures), and there is minor bleeding on one corner. These issues taken into consideration, this is a super rug. Beautiful wool, well knotted, interesting design, nice structural elements, gorgeous sheen. The color has softened from a blue black to a charcoal and purplish black. It has nice abrash. The white trucks in the border exemplify the beautiful wool used in this war rug. The design is very unusual with the clunky trucks and APCs in the borders and the artistically drawn airplanes on the inner guard stripe. The planes appear to be both fighters and bombers. Some war rugs feature a figure of a woman in a burka. These are mostly seen in the ""Golden Border"" style. This rug has the best example seen with one airplane showing the lattice face piece of the Afghan style burka. It is depicted in a grid of dots where the face is. This type of double imagery shows the craftiness of these Afghan folk artists to illustrate their human position in the world. This rug really demonstrates the benefit of an older rug, as well as how beautiful and older war rug can be. | 147 |
 | Black Tank Border w/ Long Fringe This rug is one of a pair of war rugs in a runner format from the Soviet era. Both are very beautiful and in good condition given their age. Both rugs have all the best qualities on looks for in war rugs. They have super wool, excellent sheen, interesting and unique patterns, interesting structural elements, and rich colors. First lets examine the effects of age. One corner has a wear one inch into the kilim skirt. That corner also is missing some of the supplemental fringe, and there is some where between the bands of weft substitution, but the other fringe is in better condition. . This rug has a repiled repair that spans 2 inches by 7 inches in the airplane border. There is also some ""sarnach"" (means ""head of the tread, sarnach are spots where warp of weft threads have been tied to extend there length and there is either a small bump where the knot is or a tuft of foundation thread sticking up through pile.) on the top end where one sees grey specs of weft in the black field. Please see photos. This is an excellent war rug, as is its mate. One particularly unusual feature of this rug is the series of brightly colored diamonds running up the middle of the rug. They definitely are not wool, and when we burn tested them the material had an ash like silk. We have never seen this type of decoration on any war rugs. In addition the burgundy medallion color is beautiful. There is nice abrash in the field color. The wool is the best: soft, lustrous, felt like and strong. The black color is used primarily to represent mourning which accents the weapons in a poignant way. The way the medallions sit on the burgundy pole with the arrow at the top is reminiscent of a tree of life design. This war rug, and its mate, are some of the very nicest. | 138 |
 | Prayer with Two Cars and Stinger This prayer war rug is new. The prayer format is defined by the arch at the top center, as well as the house forms in the top corners. The rest of the design is uncommonly organized, with a clutter of urban and rural motifs throughout the field including three cars . At first these three cars appear to be the only modern imagery, but closer examination reveals a stinger missile hidden in the lower field. It may be an example of art imitating life but often Stinger missiles appear hidden in designs. Stinger missiles are the most rare of weapons depicted in war rugs. This could because, according to one account, the US supplied only 500 pieces, so a limited amount of people would have actually seen or used them. Also they were not introduced in Afghanistan until late 1986. Please see the third picture down of this rug to see a similar depiction of a Stinger missile click here. The Stinger in this rug is dissected. The top half is to the left and the bottom half is to the right, on the right side of the red dots. This war rugs condition is excellent. The colors are dark with a predominantly black field. Black is typically used in mourning rugs. Red is combined with blue for a purple effect which is rare. The border's primary color is undyed wool. The back of this war rug has a corduroy feel and texture. | 77 |
 | Pickup Truck Afghan War Rug This is a very unusual rug. Composition is unusual but not totally unique. The pickup truck image is unique, particularly with the heavy machine gun mounted in back of truck. Please note the drawing of the second heavy machine gun. I propose this rug is woven by a man. The drawing of second gun could only be done by someone with detailed knowledge of this weapon. The weaver must know and be comfortable with the inner workings of this weapon to be able to depict it in such detail. | 33 |
 | ALSO RUG 1013 Red Cicatu Afghan War Rug also 1013 Excellent. Beautiful fringe. Thick braided weft brocade on kilim end. Uneven length pile. Lots of abrash in the red ground. | 16 |
