A richly pigmented Baluch prayer rug woven in deep crimson and saturated walnut brown, forming a tightly arrayed lattice of eight-pointed rosettes. The architectural mihrab field is subtly defined through vertical panels of variation and framed by alternating geometric flower motifs. The rug’s compact size and prayer niche structure invite contemplation, with a palette that glows warmly in natural light and a field that evokes ceremonial intimacy.
