This traditional Afghan prayer rug features a vibrant red field anchored by the classic mihrab arch design that defines Islamic prayer carpets. The geometric borders frame the central prayer niche with intricate detailing in complementary blues and ivory accents. The rich red foundation creates a warm, reverent atmosphere while the precise geometric patterns reflect centuries of weaving tradition.

Handcrafted by skilled Afghan artisans using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this prayer rug is constructed entirely from premium Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster. The tight hand-knotted weave at 50-60 knots per square inch ensures this piece will maintain its beauty and structure for decades. Afghan weavers take particular pride in their prayer rugs, as these sacred pieces require exceptional attention to traditional proportions and symbolic elements.

At 2' 11" x 4' 6", this prayer rug is ideally sized for personal devotion or as a distinctive accent piece in an entryway, bedroom, or study. The compact dimensions make it perfect for apartments or smaller spaces where you want to introduce authentic craftsmanship without overwhelming the room. This piece complements both traditional Middle Eastern interiors and contemporary settings that appreciate handmade artistry.
