This Afghan prayer rug displays a classic mihrab design rendered in deep navy blue against a darker field. The prayer niche is framed by geometric borders that create a sense of sacred space, while small floral motifs scattered throughout the field add delicate detail to the composition. The rich blue palette gives this piece a contemplative quality that speaks to its spiritual purpose.

Handwoven by Afghan artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations, this prayer rug is crafted 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 weave that will withstand daily use while maintaining its structural integrity. Natural dyes contribute to the depth and richness of the blue tones that will remain vibrant for decades.

At 2' 8 x 4' 2, this compact prayer rug works beautifully in personal meditation spaces, as a bedside accent, or displayed as textile art on a wall. Its manageable size makes it ideal for apartments and smaller rooms where you want to incorporate authentic oriental rugs without overwhelming the space. This 3 x 5 size fits naturally in studies, entryways, or as a focal point in reading nooks. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
