This Afghan prayer rug displays the classic mihrab design with a rich burgundy prayer niche framed by intricate geometric borders. The field features a lively mix of deep reds, navy blues, and ivory accents that create warm, meditative tones. Traditional motifs including stylized flowers and angular patterns fill the borders, while the pointed arch draws the eye upward in the customary prayer rug format.

Woven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this piece showcases the exceptional quality of Ghazni wool known for its durability and lustrous finish. Each knot is tied by hand, creating the dense, resilient pile that Afghan rugs are celebrated for worldwide. Natural dyes give the colors their rich depth and ensure they will age gracefully over decades of use.

At 3' 1" x 5' 0", this prayer rug works beautifully in personal meditation spaces, as a bedside accent, or displayed on a wall as textile art. The compact size suits apartments, studies, or any room where you want to incorporate authentic oriental rugs without overwhelming the space.
