Esfandagheh اسفندقه
Esfandagheh is a cool upland district of southern Kerman province, west of Jiroft and south of Rabor, watered by qanats and branches of the Halil Rud; the name also belongs to a mountain west of Jiroft. Dehkhoda, quoting Kayhan's geography of Iran, names carpets as the district's manufacture. Our Esfandagheh bags are its work, sold, like much Kerman weaving, under the Afshar name.
