This traditional Afghan prayer rug features a deep red field anchored by the classic mihrab prayer niche design that defines authentic prayer rugs. The central field showcases intricate geometric motifs in darker tones that create striking contrast against the rich red backdrop. Traditional border patterns frame the composition with repeating tribal elements that speak to generations of weaving knowledge passed down through Afghan communities.

Handcrafted by skilled weavers in the tribal regions of Afghanistan, this prayer rug represents authentic Baluchi artistry using 100% pure wool throughout. The dense hand-knotted construction utilizes premium Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster. Traditional techniques ensure each knot is tied individually, creating the substantial feel and longevity that distinguish genuine hand-knotted rugs from machine-made alternatives.

At 3' 1" x 4' 6", this prayer rug works beautifully in personal prayer spaces, as an accent piece in bedrooms, or as a distinctive element in entryways and studies. The compact size suits apartment living while the authentic tribal character complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. This piece joins our curated collection of oriental rugs sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
