This quality collectible antique dark red and camel hand woven Belouch tribal rug is probably circa 1900 and produced for the then westerners fashionable interest in all things oriental. Classified as a prayer mat since the design includes a mihrab (prayer niche) or ‘gateway to paradise' at one end, the size of 130 cm x 85 cm [approx 4ft 3" by 2ft 9"] providing an ideal clean area for prayer. |
