This Afghan prayer rug displays the classic mihrab design with a distinctive arch framed by geometric borders in rich jewel tones. The field showcases a lively mix of burgundy, navy blue and ivory creating intricate patterns that draw the eye inward toward the prayer niche. Traditional motifs fill the borders with precise geometric forms that demonstrate the weaver's skill. The warm color palette brings depth and character to this sacred textile.

Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this prayer rug represents centuries of weaving tradition. The foundation and pile are constructed entirely from high-quality Ghazni wool known for its durability and lustrous finish. Hand-knotted at 50-60 knots per square inch, the tight weave ensures this rug will maintain its beauty and structure for decades of use.

At 3' 1" x 4' 9", this prayer rug works beautifully in personal prayer spaces, bedrooms, or as an accent piece in hallways and entryways. The compact size makes it ideal for layering or positioning beside furniture in smaller rooms. This piece complements both traditional and contemporary interiors, fitting naturally into Afghan rugs collections and working well with other 3 x 5 area rugs.
