Tehran, YJC. A number of native Iranian arts are less known by the country’s people.
There are many handicrafts which people do not usually get acquainted
with and are therefore considered to be extinguishing arts. Motakazin is an Iranian
craft on fabrics which is little known among people and which is one of the
arts that are predicted to die with their current masters.
The handicraft belongs to a village with the same name in
Mazandaran. Cloth is sewn with white cotton warp and a background and
additional woofs that create patterns.

Ashk-doozi is another Iranian handicraft which consists of
sewing tear-like tear pearls onto strong fabric such as broadcloth, velvet, or
satin.
In South Khorasan there is another form of handicraft which
consists of threading peganum harmala seed capsules with colorful threads and
adding them along with tassels on cardboard, straw mat, or cloth. The art is
called Espand-bafi.
In Yazd a cloth is woven 75 to 90 cm long and 25 cm wide
with striped and Moiré patterns which is used to make school dress or local
costume. They call the handicraft Armak-bafi.
Bokhara-doozi is to be found in Isfahan. It consists of
sewing the cloth all over with different material from bear thread to sequins
and the like.
