{"product_id":"small-prayer-carpet-2-11-x-4-9-no-al10278-1","title":"Red Afghan Tribal Rug 2' 11\" x 4' 9\" Hand-Knotted | No. AL10278","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis handcrafted prayer rug displays a rich red field framed by the traditional mihrab arch that forms the spiritual centerpiece of Islamic prayer carpets. The deep crimson wool creates a warm, meditative atmosphere while geometric tribal motifs dance along the borders in contrasting earth tones. The mihrab's pointed arch draws the eye upward, symbolizing the direction of prayer, while delicate floral elements add subtle refinement to the overall design. This is a working prayer rug that balances devotional purpose with artistic beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoven by skilled Afghan artisans using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this carpet showcases the exceptional quality of Ghazni province wool known for its durability and natural luster. Each knot was tied by hand using traditional methods that have remained unchanged for centuries, creating a dense, resilient pile that will withstand decades of use. The natural wool fibers accept dyes beautifully, resulting in colors that develop character and depth over time rather than simply fading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt just under 3 by 5 feet, this prayer rug fits comfortably in personal prayer spaces, studies, or as an accent piece in hallways and entryways. The compact size makes it ideal for apartments or smaller rooms where a larger carpet might overwhelm the space. This piece complements both traditional and contemporary interiors, particularly those featuring warm color palettes and natural materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse our complete selection of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/alrug.com\/collections\/afghan-rugs\"\u003eAfghan rugs\u003c\/a\u003e or explore other \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/alrug.com\/collections\/3-x-5\"\u003e3 x 5 rugs\u003c\/a\u003e in our collection.
