This rug has a figured centrefield and a single border. The centre is dominated by President Mohammad Najibullah Ahmadzai, whose forehead is inscribed with a red hammer and sickle. His left arm appears to be pointing towards Pakistan. His head is held by a large hand extending down from the north and attached to a Soviet-style hammer and sickle. He is positioned on top of a green map of Afghanistan, the area above coloured red, below coloured blue and on the left side a turquoise strip inscribed with the word “Iran”. To the right is a brown area with the word “Chinh”. On the blue ground there are two camels being led towards the left by a man with a stick. Another figure rides a horse below three reddish triangles and adjacent to an animal and two trees. On the red ground above the map are the shield like motif with “USSR” and a hammer and sickle, a row of five helicopters and one tank with two riders. Surrounding Najibullah are four soldiers, facing or aiming weapons at him, three grenades, two tanks and an unidentified motif with an X below his feet. The border has a red ground and the selvedges are natural brown wool and the ends are finished with a band of red plain weave and cotton fringes.
