We visited some Qashqai women who weave rugs from wool from sheep that they raise. The Qashqai used to be nomadic but are now almost all sedentary and live in and around Shiraz. These were in a small village called Sadaat Shahr: http://tinamanley.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Iran/G0000YmlbTddL96g/I0000hRvttcrbl0I and on through an extended family who all use their wool to make souvenirs to sell in the market. One of the strangest museums we visited was the Vikal Bath House in Shiraz: http://tinamanley.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Iran/G0000YmlbTddL96g/I00007W4hoPqAvMA The wax models are very awkward but the museum is restoring the beautiful decorations in the bath house: http://tinamanley.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Iran/G0000YmlbTddL96g/I00007W4hoPqAvMA and on to the end. More photos before, between, and after of bazaars and street scenes. C&C greatly appreciated.
