Collector Note
This rug is best understood as a documentary textile and historical object. Its imagery reflects September 11, political conflict, symbolic resistance, and the visual language of war.
The inclusion of these motifs does not represent endorsement, glorification, or support for violence, terrorism, war, military action, or any political ideology.
Shipping & Purpose
Each rug ships from Afghanistan. Because of the origin, customs procedures, and international transit, delivery times may vary. Estimated shipping time is usually 2–6 weeks, with some deliveries taking up to 8 weeks depending on the destination.
Beyond preserving these objects as documentary textiles, this archive is also intended to give back. A portion of the profits from this archive is used to support Afghan communities, local makers, and humanitarian projects connected to Afghanistan.
Due to the handmade nature of the piece, small irregularities in weaving, shape, color, and fringe are part of its character.
