This Afghan prayer rug displays the classic mihrab design with geometric borders in a rich palette of deep reds, navy blues, and warm ivory accents. The central prayer niche features intricate geometric motifs that frame the field, while multiple guard borders create visual depth around the perimeter. The color combination creates a sense of reverence and tradition, with each hue carefully balanced to highlight the symbolic elements of the design.

Woven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using traditional hand-knotting techniques, this prayer rug represents generations of weaving expertise passed down through Afghan families. The foundation is crafted from durable cotton while the pile consists entirely of high-quality Ghazni wool, known for its resilience and natural luster. With a knot density of 50-60 knots per square inch, this construction ensures both longevity and the crisp definition of each geometric element.

At 2' 9" x 4' 9", this rug works beautifully in personal prayer spaces, as an accent piece beside a bed, or in smaller seating areas where its compact proportions won't overwhelm the room. The size suits both traditional and contemporary interiors where authentic craftsmanship is valued. Browse our complete selection of Afghan rugs or explore more 3 x 5 rugs in our collection.
