Antique Afghan Prayer Rug | Handwoven Wool Textile
A measured field of pattern and repetition, designed for stillness, orientation, and daily return.
Handwoven in Afghanistan for individual devotional use, this prayer rug follows a traditional Bokhara-influenced layout, with a disciplined central field framed by dense geometric borders. The fine wool carries a soft, slightly silky hand feel associated with northern Afghan weaving, consistent with traditional dye practices. A woven script motif appears at one end, inspired by Arabic calligraphic forms and used symbolically rather than as literal text. Modest in scale and exacting in detail, it holds cultural purpose while translating seamlessly into contemporary interiors as a grounded textile object.
Measures: 137 cm L × 70 cm W × 1 cm H
