Vintage Afghan Beshir Turkmen prayer rug with rams horn design to the Mihrab. 

Circa 1950. 

A very good small prayer rug the rams horn design in this format is associated with the Turkmen tribes; especially the Ersari / Beshir who settled in northern Afghanistan. This very sweet small rug is dated to either side at the top 1328 which translates to 1949/50. So the rug is now about 75 years old. The field has a vertical row of five Turkmen guls surrounded by pomegranate flowers. This is a charming and colourful little rug. The rug is in excellent condition with slight wear and full pile. The rug is suitable for normal domestic use or would make a great wall hanging.
