This handcrafted prayer rug showcases the traditional mihrab arch rendered in deep blue tones with subtle geometric accents throughout the field. The overdyed treatment gives the original motifs a rich, saturated appearance while maintaining the spiritual significance of the classical prayer niche design. Delicate border patterns frame the central arch, creating a meditative focal point that draws the eye naturally toward the mihrab.

Woven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using traditional hand-knotting techniques, this piece reflects centuries of prayer rug craftsmanship. The dense 55-65 knots per square inch construction using 100% wool creates a durable foundation, while the Ghazni wool provides the lustrous texture characteristic of Afghan textiles. This meticulous attention to detail ensures both longevity and authentic cultural heritage.

At 2' 7" x 4' 3", this prayer rug fits comfortably in personal prayer spaces, entryways, or as an accent piece beside a reading chair. The compact proportions work well in apartments or smaller rooms where you want meaningful textile art without overwhelming the space.
