About the Item

Prayer rugs have directional patterns that are pointed towards the holy city of Mecca during meditation. These rugs provide the worshipper with a clean area from which to pray, acting as a barrier from an impure ground surface below. The mihrab or niche is the main element of prayer rugs, with the shapes and sizes in Anatolian examples varying according to the weaving center. The niches found in Ghiordes rugs are highly geometric, squat, and squarish emulating a reversed V-arch resting on columns or square shoulders. Most examples have a mosque lamp hanging from the top of the niche that is often substituted with stylized flora, and the fields are often flanked by rectangular panels containing elements such as cloud bands. 5' 5" x 4' 0" .
