| This Chechen rug features rows of jets, grenades, rifles, and helicopters rendered in bright red, yellow, blue, and green against an abrashed dark blue background. A row of rifles makes up the sides of the composition.
Some interestingly drawn tanks (perhaps in 3-point-perspective) with flags create the border. The quality of the dye looks almost like vegetable dye, however the solidity of the red color in the border points to perhaps a synthetic (if possible) dye. |
