This traditional prayer rug displays the classic mihrab design with its distinctive pointed arch framing a geometric field. The color palette combines deep reds, rich blues, and warm ivory tones that create a harmonious and meditative appearance. Fine geometric borders frame the central prayer niche, while the overall composition maintains the sacred proportions essential to authentic prayer carpets. The intricate detailing and balanced symmetry reflect the weaver's devotion to this revered textile tradition.

Crafted by skilled artisans in Afghanistan, this prayer rug represents centuries of unbroken weaving tradition. The 100% wool construction uses premium Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster. Hand-knotted at 50-60 knots per square inch, each knot was individually tied to create the precise geometric patterns. This density ensures both structural integrity and the crisp definition of the intricate motifs that will remain vibrant for generations.

At 2' 9" x 4' 5", this rug works beautifully in prayer rooms, studies, or as an accent piece in entryways and bedroom corners. The compact size makes it ideal for personal meditation spaces or as part of a larger Afghan rug collection. Consider pairing with other traditional textiles in similar proportions for a cohesive interior approach. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghanistan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
