The Art of Qaen Embroidery
In the highlands of South Khorasan, embroidery is more than decoration — it’s a way of life. Women in Qaen have for generations passed down the techniques of traditional hand embroidery, using motifs inspired by the region’s saffron crocus and barberry trees. These everyday items reflect not only their natural environment but the cultural identity of eastern Iran.
