Afghan War Rug – Hand-Knotted Wool (New) - 61cm by 82cm

A contemporary Afghan war rug, hand-knotted in Afghanistan using traditional weaving techniques. War rugs emerged during the late 20th century as local weavers began incorporating the realities of conflict into centuries-old carpet designs, creating a unique form of historical folk art.

This example features a military helicopter, rifle, rocket launcher, and stylized poppy flowers, combining traditional Afghan weaving with imagery inspired by the country's recent history. The light background and bold colors make it an especially eye-catching example of this distinctive weaving tradition.

A unique piece for collectors of textiles, military history, or modern folk art.
