This Afghan prayer rug displays the classic mihrab arch design rendered in rich burgundy red tones against a deep crimson field. The prayer niche features traditional geometric borders with intricate tribal motifs that frame the central medallion. The warm red palette creates an atmosphere of reverence and spiritual focus, while the geometric precision reflects centuries of weaving tradition.

Handcrafted by skilled Afghan artisans using traditional hand-knotting techniques passed down through generations. The foundation is built from durable cotton warps with a dense wool pile made from premium Ghazni wool, known for its exceptional strength and natural luster. Natural dyes create the deep, lasting colors that will maintain their vibrancy for decades of use.

At 2'9" x 4'8", this prayer rug works beautifully in personal meditation spaces, beside a bedside for morning prayers, or as an accent piece in studies and quiet corners. Its compact size makes it ideal for apartments and smaller rooms where a meaningful textile piece can anchor the space. This piece complements both traditional and contemporary oriental rugs collections. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
