80x60 cm Afghanistan U.S.A 11 september 2001 Newyork world trade center afghan warrug No:23/ - 32

The Afghan weavers who produced "war rugs" showing Russian weapons during their occupation of Afghanistan, have now begun to use some American propaganda leaßets as the source for the design of their latest war rugs.

Notice that this Afghan rug shows two scenes that are found on US leaßets. The first, of course, is the attack on the World Trade Center. The second is the vignette across the center of the rug with the U.S. Flag, dove of peace, and Afghan Flag. This is a very common symbol found on U.S. consolidation (nation-building) leaßets printed and disseminated near and after the end of the military aspect of the invasion of Afghanistan.

AFGHAN WAR RUGS ARE AN EXCEPTIONAL WORK OF ART, HAND KNOTTED WITH TRIBAL AFGHAN SHEEP WOOL IN UNIQUELY DESIGNED PATTERS FROM THE AFGHAN-SOVIET WAR DURING THE YEARS 1979-1989. THESE UNIQUE RUGS TELL A STORY AND COULD EITHER BE USED AS ßOOR RUGS OR WALL HANGINGS. THE RICH AND SOMBRE COLOURS USED WITH THESE DESIGNS REMIND US OF A HISTORY WHICH SHOULD NEVER BE FORGOTTEN AND LEAVE US WITH A MOMORY OF THE LIBERATION OF AFGANISTAN.
