The Colourful World of ASAYER

Inspired by nature, Bakhtiari women’s clothes have magnificent colors. Young women are fond of bright colors while elderly women tend to wear darker clothing. Their clothes include a cap (Lachak) which is usually decorated with coins, pearls, and glass beads; it is pinned to a veil (Meyna) in a way that frames the face without hiding it. Lachak is usually fixed by a silver chain (Sizan ban), decorated with coins and beads.
