Shircan Prayer Maraseli 27649
This antique Shirvan Prayer Marasali rug (3'11" × 4'7") is a rare and highly collectible example from the Caucasus, woven in the late 19th century. Distinguished by its prayer niche (mihrab) design, the rug features a lattice field of stylized boteh motifs on a deep indigo ground, symbolizing fertility and eternal life. The architectural prayer arch at the top anchors the composition, giving the piece both spiritual and artistic resonance.
The borders are richly detailed with iconic Shirvan elements, including zoomorphic and geometric motifs such as animals, rosettes, and stars, executed in soft natural dyes of ivory, madder red, light blue, and earthy browns. Woven with fine wool and a tight knot count, this rug represents the best qualities of Marasali weavings: elegance, precision, and deep cultural meaning. Both as a devotional textile and as a collector’s piece, this Shirvan Prayer Marasali rug stands as a timeless artifact of Caucasian craftsmanship.
