The word Sofreh traditionally refers to a textile cloth used by nomadic communities as a ground covering for meals or ceremonial gatherings. These textiles played both practical and cultural roles in tribal life.
Many Sofreh weavings originate from regions in western and southwestern Iran, where nomadic groups such as the Qashqai and Luri have preserved traditional weaving techniques for generations. The patterns often reflect tribal identity, protective symbols, and elements inspired by nature.
