As the rug has not yet been received into our stock at Tewkesbury, it has yet to be properly photographed. The images may not be as good as our normal images, but they are photographs of the finished rug. Once the carpet has been transferred from our warehouse, we will rephotograph it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMade by hand in northwest Afghanistan using traditional techniques, this Kharjeen rug brings a fresh, modern twist. It skips the usual borders and bursts with a lively pattern full of trees, plants, birds, and animals. Watch for goats, peacocks, and even the occasional moose! Birds sometimes perch happily in the trees, all set against a charmingly unusual grey background that adds a fun, unexpected touch. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlease click the hyperlinks in gold if you are interested in additional information.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Afghan_rug\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAfghan\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehandmade carpets are gaining increasing recognition.
