Termeh & Rasht embroidery
Termeh (Persian: ترمه) is a type of valuable and traditional fabric, often made from silk, cashmere, or wool, and featuring intricate traditional patterns. This fabric is produced in Iran and Kashmir and is highly popular due to its delicate and complex designs. The exact origin of termeh is uncertain, and researchers are divided on whether its production first started in Iran or Kashmir. Wikipedia →
