Darrehshuri درهشوری
The Darrehshuri are one of the five major tribes of the Qashqai confederacy. They summer around Vardasht in Isfahan province, the northernmost of all Qashqai summer pastures, and winter around Kazerun and Lake Famur in Fars. A former chief put them at about 35,000 people in 1957. Iranica's GABBA article names their old lion gabbeh (gabbeh-ye shiri) as an exception to the loose, coarse weave of traditional tribal gabbehs.
