This handcrafted prayer rug displays the traditional mihrab arch framed by intricate geometric borders in warm earth tones. The field features a rich blend of deep reds, navy blues, and cream accents that create classic Islamic motifs throughout the design. Fine knotwork reveals detailed palmettes and vine scrolls that flow seamlessly around the central prayer niche. The balanced color palette generates a sense of reverence and tranquility befitting its spiritual purpose.

Woven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this piece showcases the region's celebrated rug-making heritage. The foundation is crafted from durable wool sourced from highland sheep, known for its resilience and natural lanolin content. Hand-spun yarns are knotted with precision to create the dense pile that will withstand decades of use while developing a beautiful patina over time. Natural dyes derived from local plants and minerals ensure the colors will remain vibrant for years to come.

At 3'2" x 4'9", this rug works beautifully as a personal prayer mat or decorative accent in studies, bedrooms, or entryways. The compact size suits intimate spaces while the sophisticated pattern complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. This piece joins our curated collection of oriental rugs and fits perfectly within our 3 x 5 size range. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
