In this zindhek, woven entirely with recycled fabrics, the pattern jumps from a network of elongated polychrome diamonds to a stepped, V-shaped arrangement of stacked elements, which, if viewed in reverse, are reminiscent of the niche motifs seen on prayer rugs. The relatively thick texture obtained from the fabric scraps makes it ideal for its use as a small transportable prayer mat.
