This traditional prayer rug displays the classic mihrab arch design with geometric borders in a lively palette of burgundy, navy blue, and ivory tones. The central prayer niche features intricate angular motifs surrounded by multiple guard borders filled with repeating diamond and zigzag patterns. The rich color combination creates a warm, meditative atmosphere while the precise geometric execution showcases masterful Afghan weaving traditions.

Handcrafted by skilled Afghan artisans using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this prayer rug is constructed entirely from durable highland wool. The dense hand-knotted pile uses natural dyes that develop beautiful patina over time, while the robust construction ensures decades of regular use. Afghan weavers are renowned for their geometric precision and use of Ghazni wool, prized for its strength and lustrous finish.

At nearly 3 by 5 feet, this prayer rug works beautifully as a decorative accent in entryways, studies, or bedrooms, fitting comfortably alongside furniture without overwhelming smaller spaces. The compact proportions suit both traditional and contemporary interiors, while the geometric design complements modern minimalist settings. This piece joins our curated collection of authentic oriental rugs available in versatile 3 x 5 sizes. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
