3' x 4'9 Hand-Knotted Afghan Baluch Prayer Rug

Item Details

This contemporary hand-knotted Afghan Baluch prayer rug is a vibrant example of nomadic textile art. The rich madder-red field is anchored by a stylized ‘Tree of Life’ motif beneath a distinctively stepped mihrab (prayer niche). Typical of Baluch weavings, the piece features dark, contrasting tones of indigo blue and charcoal, accented with ivory for clarity. The composition includes a wide top panel above the niche and a multi-layered border carrying traditional geometric floral and latch-hook designs. Crafted with durable wool, this rug serves as both a functional devotional item and a sophisticated decorative accent for smaller spaces.
