About the Item

A rug clearly woven after the sad events of 9/11, symbolising the alliance between the U.S.A. and Afghanistan, although it should be regarded more as a hand-knotted historical document, especially in light of the most recent developments. Examples of this type are meant to represent a relatively new frontier in rug collecting.
