Double Panel 9/11 Afghan War Rug

Description:

Rare contemporary Afghan war rug depicting the September 11 attacks in a dramatic mirrored double-panel composition. Handwoven in Afghanistan, the rug combines traditional weaving techniques with highly detailed narrative imagery referencing the World Trade Center attacks, aircraft impacts, helicopters, American flags, and symbolic floral motifs.

Traditional floral and border elements soften the otherwise stark imagery, creating a complex tension between beauty, memory, conflict, and symbolism. Rugs of this nature have increasingly been collected internationally as examples of postwar cultural expression and modern Afghan folk-art weaving.
