This handcrafted prayer rug displays the traditional mihrab arch design in a lively mix of reds, blues and ivory across its wool foundation. The geometric border frames the central prayer niche with precise symmetry, while smaller motifs fill the field with classic Islamic patterns. The balanced color palette creates a reverent atmosphere suitable for both spiritual practice and decorative display. Each detail reflects centuries of weaving tradition passed down through generations.

Woven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using 100% wool at 50-60 knots per square inch, this piece represents authentic craftsmanship at its finest. Afghan weavers often use locally sourced Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster. The dense knotting ensures this rug will maintain its beauty and structural integrity for decades. Traditional techniques and natural materials create a piece that honors both function and artistry.

At 2' 7" x 4' 4", this prayer rug works beautifully in personal meditation spaces, beside beds, or as an accent piece in hallways and entryways.
