| This is a beautiful rug featuring a lot of unique figures and bright colors. Four tables holding 2 Ewers each run down the center of the rug, with a potted plant or some other sort of vase between them as well as some text. The table closest to the top has been cut off. Around them sit helicopters, guns, grenades and other plant life.
The pinks, greens, and cyans (tip faded) in this rug really pop against the rich blue background. A line appears to be some sort of large cat with pointy claws creates a colorful border around the rug. |
