This Afghan prayer rug displays the classic mihrab arch framed by geometric tribal motifs in rich earth tones. The field combines deep burgundy and navy elements with ivory highlights, creating a traditional composition that speaks to generations of Islamic prayer rug artistry. The geometric borders feature repeating diamond and star patterns that frame the central prayer niche beautifully.

Handcrafted by skilled Afghan weavers using traditional techniques passed down through families, this rug is made from durable Ghazni wool known for its strength and natural luster. The hand-knotted construction ensures each piece develops its own character over time, while the natural dyes create colors that age gracefully. Afghan tribal weavers take pride in their prayer rugs, understanding their sacred purpose and crafting them with special attention to detail.

At 2'9" x 4'4", this prayer rug fits perfectly beside a bed, in a meditation space, or as a decorative accent in an entryway or study. The compact size makes it ideal for personal prayer use while the tribal design complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. This piece joins our curated collection of oriental rugs sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghanistan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
