This handcrafted prayer rug features a rich red field centered around the traditional mihrab arch design that defines authentic prayer rugs. The deep crimson backdrop is accented with geometric borders in complementary blues and ivory, creating the distinctive spiritual focal point that has guided worshippers for generations. The precise symmetry of the mihrab creates a sense of reverence while the warm red tones add depth to the overall composition.

Woven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using traditional hand-knotting techniques passed down through centuries, this rug is crafted from 100% wool sourced from the highland regions. The dense knot structure and quality Ghazni wool ensure exceptional durability, while natural dyes provide the rich coloration that will develop a beautiful patina over time. Each knot represents hours of meticulous craftsmanship by weavers who understand both the technical and spiritual significance of prayer rug creation.

At 3' 1" x 4' 8", this rug works beautifully in meditation spaces, bedrooms, or as an accent piece in living areas with traditional or eclectic decor. The compact size makes it ideal for personal prayer use while remaining substantial enough to anchor a seating area. This piece complements other oriental rugs and fits perfectly within the popular 3 x 5 size category for versatile room placement.
