Hi,
I would like to identify this rug I purchased yesterday. Is it a prayer rug? Is it Turkish or Afghan? or from somewhere else? Condition is only poor as it has major moth damage. Price was low. I bought it, knowing the damage, because I thought it had been a beautiful rug. Someone else must have too, when they put the white on the back to hang it from the wall. Rug is quite thin and rather densely knotted. Stiff in the hand.
Any help, much appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce

I think it's an Afghan. I also think if it is given a proper wash it will no longer be stiff.
