Neyriz نیریز
Neyriz (Niriz) is a town in eastern Fars, about 220 km south-east of Shiraz, on the eastern side of Lake Bakhtegan, which Iranica also calls Lake Neyriz. Dealers sell Neyriz rugs as Afshar work, but Iranica records that it is not known whether the Afshar of Fars wove carpets. Our Neyriz rug is village work from the district.
