Notes: "It may come as a suprise to associate 'art' with 'bread' and 'bread' with art,' yet flatwoven sofreh are aesthetically subtle textiles closely associated with Iranian food and eating habits. The traditional type of woven sofreh is mainly found among tribal groups ... The majority of the textiles presented here [date] from the late 19th century until the middle of the 20th century..." -- page [3].
