Description

The dining sofreh was the equivalent of a western table-cloth, where it would have been spread on the floor of the tent at mealtimes, bowls of various foods, flat-bread and tea placed upon it, with the tribes-people sitting around the sofreh cross-legged enjoying each other's company.
This beautiful sofreh was made around 1900 by the Djhan Beghi tribe in the areas of Khaf and Qa'en on the border areas of north-eastern Persia and north-western Afghanistan.
The dining sofreh is in excellent, complete condition.
