Vintage Persian Baluch Tree-of-Life Prayer Rug | 3' 5” x 6' 1"

A beautifully balanced Baluch prayer rug with a stepped mihrab and a tree of life rising from a small vase. Paired cypress sprays and boteh leaves climb toward the arch, while architectural side panels and dotted guard stripes frame the design. 

The palette sits in earthy harmony: camel and sand with charcoal, walnut brown, soft olive, and touches of sky blue.

Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation gives good durability in a graceful, room-friendly size. Lovely beside a bed, in a reading nook, or as a focal accent in an entry.
