On the Design:

Connoisseurs may admire this as one of the new curation of pieces in an interesting “War Rugs” line that explores the recent history of conflict in the Middle East from the perspective of Iranian citizens, propaganda, and similar perspectives.

Keen eyes for detail may note that this is why many pieces like this include pictorial illustrations of military figures, helicopters, weapons, and similar drawings, even though its border is more like many other traditional pieces of the region—in many cases Baluch tribal rugs of Persian, Afghani, and Pakistani provenance. Admirers of the craft may appreciate this modern-day collectible and rich work of folk art alike, exploring bold themes in a fashion equally suitable to the floor and wall-hanging projects alike less
