The most famous of Afghan weaves is the war rug. These rugs came out of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, and the Afghan weavers started incorporating war imagery into their rugs. These include motifs of helicopters, maps, Kalashnikovs, tanks and war jets. These truly show how an ancient culture clashes with a modern superpower at war.
