Their
Sofrehs, like their Namakdans, have much variety owing to the special
position of Kerman and its various tribes.
Notwithstanding
the variety in design, color and manner of weaving, sofrehs of Afshar
have rectangular feature and are Ardi type.
No
long dining sofreh has been obtained from Afshar.
In
their sofreh, coloring is very interesting. Bright happy colors of
their sofrehs may not be found in any other region.
Structure
of sofreh of Afshar is very divergent, having a combination of various
weaving, like uniform kilim, double interlock and weft wrapping.
Two
sides of these sofrehs, according their own style, is vertically weft
wrapped by two antonym colors, like two pillars (interlocked-chain).
In above and below, a few wales of kilim weaving in two antonym colors
or some wales of normal weaving or tablet weft of two antonym colors
could be seen.
