This traditional Afghan prayer rug displays a classic mihrab design with a soft beige field framed by intricate geometric borders. The central prayer niche features delicate floral motifs rendered in warm earth tones, while the surrounding borders showcase repeating diamond and star patterns in harmonious shades of brown, ivory and gold. The balanced color palette creates a serene, contemplative atmosphere befitting its sacred purpose.

Handcrafted by skilled Afghan artisans using time-honored techniques, this prayer carpet is woven entirely from premium Ghazni wool known for its exceptional durability and natural luster. The dense 50-60 knots per square inch construction ensures longevity while the natural dyes develop a beautiful patina over time. Afghan weavers have perfected these prayer rug designs through generations, with each piece reflecting centuries of Islamic artistic tradition.

At 2' 10" x 5' 1", this compact size works beautifully in personal prayer spaces, bedrooms, or as an accent piece in hallways and entryways. The traditional proportions complement both contemporary and classical interiors. This piece belongs to our curated collection of Afghan rugs, ideal for those seeking authentic craftsmanship in a 3 x 5 format.
