Centred around the Babur Garden of Kabul, the weavers were asked to draw elements evoking happy memories associated with the park. The recurring symbol of the cake appeared as a symbol of celebration, birthdays and joyful gatherings, perhaps picnics in the garden. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor this anniversary collection, the beautiful tiered cake drawing was adapted into a rug, playing with its elevation, combining wool and silk to create a joyful harmony of colours. The result is intentionally playful and almost naïve, with pinks and reds reminiscent of berries, strawberries and sugar icing. Although the image is simple, the rug is technically quite challenging and requires great precision and dexterity in hand-knotting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHand-knotted Ghazni wool \u0026amp; Herati silk.
