This Afghan prayer rug displays the traditional mihrab design with a central prayer niche framed by geometric borders. The field combines warm terracotta and deep burgundy tones with ivory and navy accents creating a balanced composition. Intricate floral motifs fill the prayer arch while stepped geometric patterns define the outer borders. The rich color palette moves from earth tones to jewel-like hues that catch light beautifully.

Woven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this prayer rug is crafted entirely from premium Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster. The tight 50-60 knots per square inch construction ensures longevity while the natural dyes create colors that age gracefully. Afghan weavers take particular pride in their prayer rugs, viewing each piece as both functional art and spiritual object.

At 3' 2" x 5' 1", this prayer rug works beautifully as an accent piece in studies, bedrooms, or entryways where its vertical orientation complements furniture arrangements. The compact size suits apartments and smaller rooms while the traditional geometric patterns coordinate well with both contemporary and classic interiors.
