A rare and elaborate hand-knotted Afghan Turkoman "saf" rug, featuring six prayer niches arranged in two rows of three, this time set against a moody forest green and navy field — a design traditionally woven for group prayer. Each mihrab arch rises with its own delicate tree-of-life motif in cream, flanked by rich navy geometric borders. Three ivory checkerboard panels punctuate the rows, adding striking contrast against the dark ground. Finished with a striped flatwoven kilim end and hand-twisted wool fringe.
A dramatic, dark alternative to our gold six-mihrab saf design — same rare multi-niche pattern, reimagined in deep forest green for a moodier, more dramatic statement.
