This traditional prayer rug showcases the sacred mihrab arch framed by geometric borders in warm earth tones. The field displays a rich tapestry of burgundy, navy, and ivory with intricate diamond motifs and stylized florals creating depth across the composition. The prayer niche features delicate detailing that draws the eye inward, while complementary guard borders provide elegant containment. This handwoven piece carries the spiritual gravitas expected of authentic prayer carpets.

Crafted by skilled Afghan artisans using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this rug employs premium Ghazni wool known for its durability and lustrous finish. Hand-knotted construction ensures each motif is precisely rendered, creating the fine detail work characteristic of Afghan weaving traditions. The natural dyes achieve rich color saturation that will deepen beautifully with age, while the dense knotting provides decades of reliable use.

At just under three by five feet, this prayer rug works beautifully in personal meditation spaces, home offices, or as an accent piece in entryways and bedrooms.
