Prayer carpets are among the oldest and most direct forms of handmade textile in the Islamic world, designed with a pointed arch or niche motif indicating the direction of Mecca. In a non-religious context they work well as accent pieces, wall hangings or collector items, and the arch motif adds a strong architectural element. This Pakistani piece is woven in pure wool on cotton at 256 knots per square inch.
The cream ground at 3 ft 2 in x 5 ft 2 in is calm and versatile. The geometric and curvilinear pattern is clear and direct. At this small format the piece works as a bedside rug, accent piece or wall hanging.
