This is a vintage Afghan Baluchi prayer rug hand knotted in the 1970s in Herat, Afghanistan. The rug showcases a traditional prayer niche design (mihrab) with symbolic tree motifs, framed by deeply detailed geometric tribal borders. The ivory prayer field contrasts beautifully with surrounding rich tones of red, black, and burgundy, giving the rug strong visual structure and cultural depth.

Made from wool and in excellent condition, this piece is perfect as a spiritual prayer rug, wall hanging, or distinctive accent in small spaces. It is a genuine, handcrafted textile that reflects the artistic heritage of Herat’s Baluchi weavers.

At Nomad Carpets, we offer a carefully selected collection of new and vintage Afghan, Turkish, and Caucasian rugs.

I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to own a beautiful handmade rug, which is why I offer the best prices without compromising on quality.
