Antique Bread Sofreh, Afshar Tribes of Shar-e-babak, Kerman Province, South Persia.

1900 - 1920
Description

Charming in every way with its depiction of stylised quadrupeds and even 3-legged creatures!

Made by Afshar nomads in the region of Shahr-e-Babak, Kerman Province, southern Persia circa 1900, the sofreh has a natural camel-hair inner-square and main border and is complete with braided tassels on each corner, indicating that this was a prized sofreh within the tribe.

A similar one can be found in the third edition of my book 'Tribal Rugs - Treasures of the Black Tent' on page 149.

Size: 1.04m x 0.89m (3' 5" x 3' 0").
