| This war rug is in good condition. It has a lovely, full pile. A common occurrence in tribal Baluch folk art, there is some minor bleeding in light shades in a few places. This is a wonderful design in which it cannot fit under the category of subtle because the images of the fighter jets and abstract cars are obvious, however, it could definitely be thought of as hiding in plain sight. This is the type of design that you could have in your home or office in which the same people could see it on a daily basis, yet never really look at it. Quite a conversation starter as you point out the war images so expertly hidden by the artist |
