This vintage Baloch prayer rug features a classic mihrab (prayer niche) design, with a stepped arch pointing upward, symbolising the direction of Mecca. The rug’s earthy palette is dominated by warm browns, soft taupes, and muted greens, giving it a subdued, organic feel. At the top, you can see stylised architectural elements resembling columns or minarets, a hallmark of prayer rug design. The main field is framed by narrow borders with repeating diamond and geometric motifs, while the prayer panel includes small symbolic shapes and protective motifs. The rug’s intricate weave, natural dyes, and tribal character reflect the Baloch weaving tradition, blending both functional and spiritual purpose.
