This traditional Afghan prayer rug displays a classic mihrab design against a striking black field. The geometric borders frame the prayer niche with intricate patterns in warm earth tones, while the dark background creates a sense of reverence and contemplation. The dense weave reveals fine details throughout the traditional motifs, giving this prayer carpet both visual depth and spiritual significance.

Handcrafted by skilled Afghan weavers using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this rug is constructed entirely from premium Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster. The 50-60 knots per square inch density ensures exceptional quality and longevity. Traditional natural dyes create the rich color palette that will remain vibrant for decades, while the expert hand-knotting provides the foundation strength these rugs are renowned for.

At 2' 9" x 4' 8", this prayer rug works beautifully in personal spaces, studies, or as a focal point in entryways and small sitting areas. The compact size makes it ideal for meditation spaces or as a meaningful accent piece in bedrooms and home offices.
