This antique Baloch prayer rug, finely woven in wool with touches of silk, is a collector’s piece showcasing the tribal artistry of Baloch weavers. The field displays a classic tree-of-life motif, rooted in the prayer niche shape (mihrab), branching symmetrically with stylised floral elements in deep black and crimson on a rich camel-brown ground.

The stepped mihrab frame, along with double corner panels (spandrels), is delicately patterned with traditional tribal motifs and angular forms. The narrow inner borders lead to a series of densely ornamented guard borders in dark umber, crimson, and ivory, featuring repeating rosettes and cross motifs.

The silk accents subtly enhance the design, adding a gentle sheen to select details. This rug reflects spiritual symbolism, tribal heritage, and meticulous craftsmanship, making it a prized decorative and devotional textile.
