This handcrafted prayer rug displays a rich red field dominated by the traditional mihrab arch design, framed by intricate geometric borders in complementary tones. The central prayer niche features delicate floral motifs and symmetrical patterns that draw the eye upward, while the deep crimson backdrop creates a sense of reverence and warmth. Fine details throughout the borders showcase the weaver's precision, with each motif carefully balanced to enhance the spiritual symbolism of the piece.

Woven in Afghanistan using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this prayer rug represents centuries of Islamic artistic tradition. The 100% wool construction utilizes high-quality Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster, hand-knotted at 50-60 knots per square inch to ensure longevity. Afghan artisans take special care with prayer rugs, understanding their sacred purpose and crafting each piece with the attention it deserves.

At 2' 8" x 3' 9", this rug works beautifully in personal prayer spaces, bedrooms, or small sitting areas where contemplation and quiet reflection are valued. The compact size makes it ideal for apartments or homes where dedicated spiritual space is important but room is limited. This piece joins our carefully curated collection of Afghan rugs and fits perfectly within our 3 x 5 size range. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghanistan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
