This traditional Afghan prayer rug displays a rich red field anchored by the classic mihrab prayer niche design. Geometric borders frame the central motif in complementary shades of navy, ivory, and gold, creating the distinctive stepped pattern that guides devotional practice. The warm red foundation provides a striking backdrop for the intricate knotwork that defines authentic prayer rugs from this region.

Handwoven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this piece showcases the exceptional quality of Ghazni wool renowned for its durability and natural luster. The dense 50-60 knots per square inch construction ensures this rug will maintain its beauty and structural integrity for decades, while the natural dyes create colors that will age gracefully over time.

At 2' 7" x 4' 8", this prayer rug serves its traditional purpose beautifully while also functioning as an accent piece in entryways, beside beds, or in reading nooks. The compact size works well in apartments, studies, or any space where you want to introduce authentic craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
