This traditional prayer rug displays the classic mihrab design with intricate geometric borders framing the central prayer field. The color palette combines warm earth tones with deeper jewel accents, creating a harmonious composition that reflects centuries of weaving tradition. Fine knotwork defines each motif, from the delicate floral elements to the precisely rendered architectural details of the prayer niche.

Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Afghanistan and Pakistan, this rug represents generations of weaving expertise passed down through family workshops. The foundation uses sturdy cotton warps while the pile consists entirely of hand-spun wool, likely including prized Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster. Traditional dyeing methods ensure the colors will develop character over time rather than fade, making this piece both functional and collectible.

At 3' 3" x 4' 4", this rug works beautifully as a personal prayer carpet or decorative accent in smaller spaces. Consider placing it beside a reading chair, in an entryway, or as part of a layered arrangement in compact living areas. The traditional design complements both contemporary and classic interiors, particularly those incorporating oriental rugs as focal elements. This 3 x 5 size offers versatility for various room configurations. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan and Pakistani weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
