EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a group of Lur tribesmen are depicted in their traditional felt coats, gathered around a kettle in the arid landscape of south-western Iran. The Lurs, also known as the Lors or Lori, are an ancient Iranian people whose history and culture have been shaped by the rugged terrain and harsh climate of their homeland. The Lur tribesmen in this image wear felt coats, or "jakets," which are an essential part of their traditional attire. These coats are not only functional, providing warmth in the cold winter months, but also hold great cultural significance. The coats are often adorned with intricate embroidery and fringes, reflecting the unique artistic traditions of the Lur people. The scene also features other elements of Lur tribal dress, including the wide-brimmed hats, or "west," which protect against the sun and rain, and the round, felt sandals, or "pak," which are ideal for the rocky terrain. The tribesmen carry their belongings in large, felt packs, or "cloaks," which can be worn as backpacks or draped over their shoulders. The photograph also reveals the simple yet effective means by which the Lur people have historically survived in this challenging environment. The kettle, or "kettle," suggests that they are preparing a meal, likely made from locally sourced ingredients. The presence of oil jars nearby suggests that they may also engage in agriculture or animal husbandry. Despite the challenges of their environment, the Lur tribesmen have maintained a rich cultural heritage that continues to influence Iranian history and identity. This photograph offers a glimpse into their past, revealing the resilience and ingenuity of a people who have adapted to the demands of their land for generations.
