This is a handwoven rug with a war-themed design called "War Rug," which originated after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. It is said to have emerged from refugee camps immediately after the 10-year Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan ended.

Depicting tanks and bullets, it expresses the everyday experience of war, faint hopes and prayers for peace, and a sense of black humor that seems to laugh at war itself. It is a work that conveys the complex theme of "war" through rugs, which are also a traditional craft of Afghanistan.
