    Can you post a picture of the underside and a closeup of where the fringe comes out of the main piece?

    French Morocco

    Based purely on some of the pattern looking similar to designs on French Moroccan coins.

    Hi,
    I do not think this is a prayer rug. They usually have the design different at one end so it will be pointed towards Mecca. I think it is a nice rug and would find house room for it.

    don't agree with you about not being maybe a prayer rug . If you look at the border there is one side open and in the top off the design you see the shapes Rombus on one side . So three sides closed and one side open . En there some more difference to bee seen of you look at the two sides off the design prayer rug  (1).JPG

    Hi,
    I have several rugs with different ends like yours but they are 10ft by 15ft much too large for a prayer rug. All of the prayer rugs I have seen all have a pointed area so they could be pointed towards mecca.

    Got some off them myself but in some country's the do make them i bit different so It al depends where my one is made . So the motifs are maybe a good point to determine the origins . Here's a few I also have somewhere in the house :beaver: [004198].jpg [004201].jpg DSC01493.JPG
