This Afghan prayer rug showcases the traditional mihrab design with a rich burgundy prayer niche framed by intricate geometric borders. The field features a warm palette of deep reds, earthy browns, and ivory accents that create classic tribal motifs throughout. Multiple guard borders in contrasting colors frame the central prayer arch, while small-scale geometric patterns fill the spandrels above the mihrab.

Handcrafted by skilled weavers in Afghanistan using time-honored tribal techniques passed down through generations. The dense hand-knotted construction uses locally sourced Ghazni wool, prized for its durability and natural lanolin content that helps resist wear. Natural dyes derived from regional plants and minerals create the authentic color variations that give this piece its distinctive character and ensure the colors will age gracefully over decades of use.

At 2'9" x 4'7", this prayer rug works beautifully as a meditation or prayer mat, and also serves well as an accent piece in entryways, beside beds, or in study areas. The compact size suits both traditional and contemporary interiors where authentic tribal craftsmanship is valued.
