This handcrafted prayer rug displays the classic mihrab arch framed by geometric borders in warm earth tones. The central field features a traditional prayer niche rendered in deep burgundy and navy, while intricate floral motifs dance along the borders in shades of ivory and rust. The rich color palette creates a sense of reverence and timeless beauty, with each knot contributing to the rug's spiritual symbolism.

Woven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using traditional techniques passed down through generations, this piece showcases the exceptional quality of Ghazni wool known for its durability and lustrous finish. The tight hand-knotted construction ensures decades of use, while natural dyes create colors that age gracefully. Afghan weavers take particular pride in their prayer rugs, considering them among their most sacred works.

At nearly 3 by 5 feet, this rug works beautifully in meditation spaces, entryways, or as an accent piece in living areas. The compact size makes it ideal for apartments or smaller rooms where you want to introduce the warmth of authentic oriental rugs without overwhelming the space. This size fits perfectly with compact area rugs suitable for focused placement. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
