This Afghan prayer rug displays a traditional mihrab design with intricate geometric borders framing the central prayer niche. The field showcases a lively mix of reds, blues, and ivory that creates an authentic tribal character. Small repeating motifs fill the prayer field while multiple guard borders provide visual depth and traditional symmetry.

Handwoven by Afghan artisans using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this prayer rug features dense hand-knotted construction in pure wool. The high-quality Ghazni wool provides exceptional durability and develops a beautiful patina over time. Natural dyes create the rich color palette that will remain vibrant for decades with proper care.

At just under 3 by 4 feet, this compact prayer rug works beautifully in entryways, beside beds, or as a accent piece in reading nooks. The smaller scale makes it ideal for apartments or intimate spaces where you want authentic oriental rug character without overwhelming the room. This size category fits well with other 3 x 5 rugs for coordinated decorating. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
