Global Village - Afghanistan


I have been searching for a runner carpet since I moved in here. I saw several that were OK but this was the first one I really liked. (The picture does not do it justice.)
It's hand-made from Afghanistan. The price was $270 - which is about half the price I paid to put in wall-to-wall carpet in my basement back in the US. It feels wonderfully soft and it's the type of thing that when I decide to leave here I'll be able to sell.
Since the dark picture at the top doesn't show the intricate design I took an over-exposed pic to bring it out better.
