This prayer rug displays the classic mihrab design with a pointed arch framing the prayer field. The geometric borders create a structured frame around the central motif, while the rich color palette weaves together deep reds, warm blues, and cream accents. The traditional layout follows centuries-old patterns that guide the faithful in their daily prayers.

Woven by skilled Afghan artisans using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this carpet is crafted from 100% wool with a dense 50-60 knots per square inch. The high-quality Ghazni wool provides exceptional durability and develops a beautiful patina over time. Each knot is tied by hand, creating the intricate geometric patterns that define authentic Afghan weaving traditions.

At 2' 11" x 4' 8", this prayer carpet works beautifully in personal prayer spaces, as a decorative accent in hallways, or beside a bed. The compact size makes it ideal for apartments or smaller rooms where you want to add traditional character. This piece complements both contemporary and traditional interiors, particularly those with Middle Eastern or global influences.
