Iranian Handicrafts: Zaribafi; Local Art of Southern Iran

Zaribafi is a local handicraft representing the Iranian art.

Local culture and costumes in Hormozgan province have created a good market for this Iranian handicraft. Local women who do Zaribafi earn a living by creating picturesque designs. After fishing and trade, Zaribafi is the most common art and most important profession in the provincial city of Jask.

Zaribafi is a catch-all term which refers to all local handicrafts done by women in Jask. They also produce different types of local costumes.
