This red Afghan prayer rug displays the classic mihrab design with geometric borders that frame the central prayer field. The rich red ground creates a warm foundation while intricate geometric patterns in complementary tones add visual depth. Traditional motifs woven throughout the field reflect centuries-old Islamic artistic traditions. The precisely executed knotwork showcases the weaver's skill in creating both sacred function and aesthetic beauty.

Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Afghanistan, this prayer carpet represents generations of weaving expertise passed down through Afghan families. The 100% wool construction uses high-quality Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster. With 50-60 knots per square inch, the dense weave ensures this rug will maintain its structural integrity and vibrant appearance for decades. Natural dyes contribute to the authentic color palette that will age gracefully over time.

At 2' 11" x 4' 9", this prayer rug works beautifully in personal meditation spaces, reading nooks, or as an accent piece in bedrooms and studies. The compact size makes it ideal for apartments and smaller rooms where a larger rug might overwhelm the space. This piece complements both traditional and contemporary interiors, fitting naturally into Afghan rugs collections and 3 x 5 rug arrangements.
