This traditional Afghan prayer rug features a striking red field with the classic mihrab (prayer niche) design at its center. The geometric borders frame the piece with intricate patterns in complementary colors, creating a harmonious composition that speaks to centuries of Islamic weaving tradition. The rich red wool provides a warm foundation for the detailed motifs that make each prayer rug unique.

Woven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using time-honored techniques, this rug showcases the quality Ghazni wool the region is renowned for. The hand-knotted construction ensures exceptional durability, with each knot tied individually to create the dense, resilient pile that Afghan rugs are famous for. Natural dyes give the colors their depth and character, aging beautifully over time while maintaining their vibrancy.

At 3' 3" x 5' 8", this prayer rug works beautifully in personal prayer spaces, as an accent piece in bedrooms, or as a decorative element in hallways and entryways. The compact size makes it ideal for apartments and smaller rooms where you want authentic oriental rugs without overwhelming the space. This size category of 3 x 5 rugs offers versatility for various room layouts. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
