Update on attribution of ‘Anti-Soviet Socialist Realist” rug

Archives from the Ella Naef collection in Los Angeles reveal that in 1999 Palmer E. Rabey was able to acquire a version of this rug from a refugee camp near Peshawar, and the attribution is that it was made by Turkmen people. However the date and the question of the authorship of the design (and caption) remain unresolved. See the previous post on this topic.
