Item Details

This hand-knotted Afghan Baluch prayer rug features a classic ‘Mihrab’ or arched prayer niche silhouette, a design steeped in devotional tradition. The central field is densely populated with repeating stylized botanical motifs in a rich palette of madder red and dark chocolate brown. Encased in multiple geometric borders, including a signature ‘running dog’ guard line, the rug showcases the lustrous, hand-spun wool and saturated natural dyes characteristic of 20th-century nomadic weaving. Its small format and bold, high-contrast graphic quality make it a compelling piece of textile art, suitable for use as a floor accent or wall hanging.
