Beschreibung:

The Ghazir Rug also known as the Armenian Orphan Rug is a Armenian styled carpet woven by orphans of the Armenian Genocide in Ghazir, Lebanon. The carpet took ten months to make and was eventually shipped to the United States where it was given to President Calvin Coolidge as a gift in 1925. The carpet was then stored in the storage room in the White House until it was exhibited at the White House Visitors Office in November 2014.
