The Soul of the Afshar Camel Wool Sofreh
Woven by the nomadic Afshar tribes of Southern Persia, this Sofreh (Sufrah) flatweave was originally crafted as a sacred communal dining cloth.
This rare specimen is hand-loomed from premium, undyed natural camel wool, yielding a soft, organic earthy background that serves as a canvas for the minimalist, geometric tribal borders. Because of its age and authentic tribal use, the wool has developed a gorgeous, lustrous patina that only time and gentle wear can produce.
