Persian and Oriental Rug History

The prayer-rug, which has been called a " creed in color," originated with the Mohammedans ; and wherever the faithful follower of the    1 Prophet may be, at the hour appointed he spreads his rug, with the mihrab, or niche, toward Mecca, and prostrates himself for his devotions, with his head resting on the rug at the point and his hands outstretched. Prayer-rugs are made small for children as well as for grown people; and occasionally one is found with three or more niches, as if intended for a whole family.
