This handcrafted Afghan prayer rug features a deep red field anchored by the traditional mihrab arch design that points toward Mecca during prayer. The geometric borders frame the central prayer niche with intricate motifs in complementary blues and ivory accents. The rich red wool creates a warm, reverent atmosphere while the precise symmetry reflects centuries of Islamic weaving tradition.

Woven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this prayer rug is crafted from 100% wool sourced from the highlands near Ghazni. The hand-knotted construction ensures durability for daily use while the natural wool fibers develop a beautiful patina over time. Traditional vegetable dyes create the saturated colors that will remain vibrant for decades.

At 2' 9" x 4' 6", this prayer rug works perfectly as a personal meditation space in bedrooms, studies, or quiet corners of living areas. The compact size suits apartments and smaller homes while remaining large enough for comfortable use. This piece complements both traditional and contemporary interiors, joining our collection of oriental rugs alongside other 3 x 5 rugs perfect for intimate spaces.
