This Afghan war rug displays a bold geometric composition against a deep blue field, featuring traditional tribal motifs reimagined through the lens of contemporary conflict imagery. The precise hand-knotted patterns create striking visual contrast, while the rich blue backdrop provides a unifying foundation for the intricate design elements. The geometric arrangements follow ancient weaving traditions yet carry the distinctive character that makes war rugs a unique chapter in Afghan textile history.

Crafted by skilled Afghan artisans using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this piece combines high-quality wool with cotton foundation threads for lasting durability. The natural Ghazni wool provides excellent resilience and develops a beautiful patina over time, while the tight hand-knotted construction ensures this rug will maintain its structural integrity for decades. Afghan weavers continue their textile traditions even amid challenging circumstances, creating pieces that document both artistic heritage and contemporary experience.

At 2' x 2'8", this compact rug works beautifully as an accent piece in entryways, beside beds, or anchoring small seating areas. The manageable size makes it ideal for apartments, offices, or as a layering piece in larger rooms with bohemian or eclectic styling. This distinctive piece complements our broader selection of Afghan rugs. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghanistan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
