Own a remarkable piece of contemporary history with this hand-knotted Afghan War Rug. Measuring 2' 8" x 4' 6" ft, this ivory rug is crafted from 100% wool by Afghan artisans who have transformed the experience of decades of conflict into a unique and deeply expressive art form.

Afghan war rugs emerged in the 1980s as a response to the Soviet-Afghan War and have continued to evolve through subsequent conflicts. Weavers incorporated imagery of tanks, helicopters, weapons, and military motifs into traditional rug designs — creating powerful historical documents woven in wool. Today, these rugs are collected by museums, galleries, and collectors worldwide as significant examples of folk art and cultural expression.
