The size is about 6.5x4.5 feet. It has some fold damage, but is basically complete. It seems large for a prayer rug. The current owner knows little about it, except that someone in his family purchased it ~30 years ago, in the USA, and believed it was an antique. That's not to say that it's really an antique. thanks for looking, Tim TMC attached the following image(s):
