This traditional prayer rug displays a classic geometric mihrab design with intricate borders framing the central field. The color palette combines warm reds, deep blues, and ivory accents that create a harmonious composition rooted in centuries of weaving tradition. Fine details in the corner spandrels and guard borders showcase the weaver's skill in balancing pattern density with visual clarity. The overall effect is both meditative and decorative, suitable for ritual use or display.

Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using time-honored techniques passed down through generations. The foundation and pile are made entirely of durable wool, likely sourced from highland sheep known for producing strong, lustrous fiber. Hand-knotting ensures each knot is individually tied and secured, creating a dense, resilient surface that will withstand decades of use. Natural dyes contribute to the rug's authentic character and help colors age gracefully over time.

At 2' 8" x 4' 3", this rug works well as a bedside accent, in entryways, or as part of a layered arrangement in smaller living spaces. The compact size makes it ideal for apartments or offices where you want authentic oriental rugs without overwhelming the room. This size category fits comfortably in most 3 x 5 spaces while leaving adequate floor margin. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
