This prayer rug displays a rich red field anchored by the traditional mihrab design that defines Islamic prayer carpets. The prayer niche is framed with intricate geometric borders in complementary earth tones, creating a harmonious composition that balances spiritual symbolism with artistic beauty. The deep red ground provides a warm foundation for the detailed motifs that flow across the surface.

Handcrafted by skilled Afghan weavers using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this piece showcases the superior quality of Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster. Each knot was tied by hand using traditional methods that ensure both structural integrity and artistic precision. The natural dyes create colors that will age gracefully while maintaining their depth and character over decades of use.

At 3' 1" x 5' 1", this rug works beautifully as a personal prayer mat or decorative accent in entryways, beside beds, or in reading nooks. Its compact size makes it ideal for apartments and smaller rooms where you want the impact of an authentic oriental rug without overwhelming the space. This 3 x 5 size fits perfectly in front of furniture or as a standalone piece. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
