This prayer rug presents a classic mihrab design with a warm beige field that forms the central prayer niche. Traditional geometric motifs frame the prayer arch in deeper tones, while the overall palette combines beige with accents of rust and navy blue. The balanced proportions and muted colors create a sense of contemplative calm appropriate for its devotional purpose.

Hand-knotted by skilled Afghan weavers using traditional techniques passed down through generations, this rug showcases the enduring craft heritage of Afghanistan. The dense wool pile uses high-quality Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster. Each knot is tied by hand, creating the precise geometric patterns that distinguish authentic Afghan prayer rugs from machine-made imitations.

At 2' 9" x 4' 6", this piece works beautifully as a prayer rug or decorative accent in smaller spaces like entryways, beside a bed, or in a study corner. The compact size suits apartments and rooms where you want the character of an oriental rug without overwhelming the space. This size fits perfectly within the popular 3 x 5 category that works in most residential settings. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
