Lot 43, This very fine nomadic Balouch rug in the image features a traditional prayer design, which is identifiable by its central Mihrab motif — the arched niche resembling an entrance or an alcove that is commonly used in prayer rugs. This particular piece showcases a rich and symmetrical arrangement of geometric patterns and stylized trees, using shades of red, cream, and brown. The top section appears to represent mosque-like structures or domes, while the field beneath the mihrab includes more intricate, symbolic decorations. The elongated design of the Mihrab and the emphasis on the architectural elements are typical of prayer rugs, which are often used as personal prayer mats in Islamic traditions. The use of strong vertical elements, as well as the smaller decorative motifs like trees and floral patterns, suggest this rug may be from a nomadic tribe, likely from Afghanistan or a region influenced by Central Asian weaving traditions.
