This is a vintage Afghan prayer rug, hand-knotted in the 1980s in Herat, Afghanistan, a region known for producing some of the finest tribal and devotional rugs in Central Asia. Measuring approximately 3'2 x 5 ft, this piece features a clearly defined Mihrab (prayer niche) at the center, representing the spiritual direction for prayer.

The rug showcases a structured composition with a central arch, surrounded by multiple tribal borders filled with geometric motifs. Its earthy and elegant palette includes dark brown, deep red, black, beige, and ivory, all achieved through traditional natural dyeing techniques that have aged beautifully.

Woven entirely from 100% wool, this rug is in excellent vintage condition, with crisp knotting, preserved fringes, and strong edges. Its versatile size and spiritual symbolism make it ideal for use as a personal prayer rug, entryway piece, wall display, or small decorative accent in any interior.
