This Afghan prayer rug displays the traditional mihrab design with careful attention to geometric detail. The field showcases a warm palette mixing deep reds, navy blues, and cream accents that create an inviting focal point. Intricate border work frames the central prayer niche, while small geometric motifs fill the field with purposeful symmetry. The overall composition balances reverence with artistic beauty.

Handwoven in Afghanistan using traditional methods passed down through generations of skilled artisans, this piece represents centuries of weaving expertise. The foundation and pile are crafted from 100% wool, likely sourced from the highland regions known for producing durable Ghazni wool. With 50-60 knots per square inch, the tight weave ensures lasting quality and precise pattern definition. Natural dyes contribute to the rich, harmonious color palette that will age gracefully over time.

At 2' 8" x 4' 8", this rug works well as a personal prayer carpet or decorative accent in entryways, bedside areas, or small sitting spaces. The compact size makes it ideal for apartments or as part of a larger Afghan rug collection. This 3 x 5 size fits comfortably in front of furniture or as a standalone piece.
