Afshar Sofreh


Bright red, different blue, green and a light yellow, abrash 

 

Tribal Afshar Sofreh. These plain weave kilims were used as cloth for the meal or to preserve  the bread. This example is woven with a mixture of plain flat weave, weft work and plain soumak. The allover typical small white flowers and the bold design bring vibrancy and sophistication to the piece.
