During the Afghan War, which lasted for over a decade starting in 1978, Afghan traditional craftspeople began weaving motifs related to the war into their rugs. Their lives and free ideas, such as machine guns, launchers, tanks, fighter jets, and grenades, were used to deform the patterns of the war. These unique works, which are distinct from traditional rugs, depict the serious theme of war with deformed patterns and have become items of interest to collectors around the world. These handmade Afghan rugs are not meant to evoke the painful memories of war, but rather are made with the hope of a peaceful world in the future.
