This Afghan prayer rug features the traditional mihrab design with its distinctive pointed arch framing the prayer field. The tribal interpretation shows geometric motifs and stylized floral elements woven in a rich palette of deep reds, navy blues, and warm ivory accents. The borders display classic guard patterns that frame the central prayer niche, creating a harmonious composition that reflects centuries of weaving tradition. The overall effect is both meditative and visually striking, with each element carefully balanced within the traditional prayer format.

Handcrafted by skilled Afghan weavers using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this rug is made from high-quality Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster. The hand-knotted construction ensures each knot is individually tied, creating a dense, resilient foundation that will maintain its beauty for decades. The use of traditional natural dyes gives the colors their depth and ensures they will age gracefully over time, developing the subtle patina that collectors prize in authentic Afghan textiles.

At 3' x 4'5", this prayer rug works beautifully as a meditation space, beside a bed, or in an entryway where its compact size and meaningful design create an welcoming focal point. The proportions suit smaller rooms and intimate spaces, complementing both traditional and contemporary oriental rugs collections.
