Normally animals are not woven in prayer rugs, but in this case, the two Mihrabs or prayer niches can be appreciated in the upper part of the rug . The camels are portrayed with their apparel (saddlebag, neck decorations etc). The border combines vegetable and geometric motifs. If you are looking for an unusual rug, this is for you!
