This handcrafted prayer rug displays a rich burgundy red field framed by the traditional mihrab arch that defines authentic prayer rugs. The geometric borders feature intricate patterns in complementary tones, while the central prayer niche creates a focal point that draws the eye upward. The deep red palette carries warmth and reverence, making this piece both spiritually meaningful and visually compelling.

Woven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using traditional hand-knotting techniques passed down through generations, this rug showcases the region's renowned craftsmanship. The foundation is built from durable cotton warps with a pure wool pile that promises years of faithful service. Afghan weavers often use locally sourced Ghazni wool, prized for its resilience and natural luster that improves with age.

At 3' 1" x 5' 3", this prayer rug works beautifully in personal prayer spaces, bedrooms, or as an accent piece in living areas where its compact size won't overwhelm furniture arrangements. The traditional design complements both contemporary and classic interiors. This size fits perfectly within our 3 x 5 rug collection and represents the finest examples of oriental rugs.
