This Afghan prayer rug displays the classic mihrab design with geometric borders that frame the central field. The traditional prayer niche features intricate patterns in a rich palette of deep reds, navy blues, and warm ivory accents. The geometric motifs create a harmonious composition that speaks to centuries of weaving tradition while maintaining the reverent character essential to prayer carpets.

Handcrafted by skilled Afghan weavers using traditional techniques passed down through generations, this rug is made from 100% wool sourced from the highlands of Afghanistan. The fine Ghazni wool provides exceptional durability and a lustrous finish that will develop a beautiful patina over time. At 50-60 knots per square inch, the tight weave ensures this piece will serve faithfully for decades while maintaining its structural integrity and vibrant colors.

At 2' 10" x 4' 2", this prayer rug fits perfectly in personal meditation spaces, beside a bed, or as an accent piece in entryways and smaller rooms. The compact size makes it ideal for apartments and homes where space is precious, while the traditional design complements both contemporary and classic interiors.
