“pateh” is an Iranian traditional needlework folk art that It originated in Kerman. The oldest pate discovered dates back to the 18th century. according to travel documentaries and texts that belong to Safavid dynasty, we can be almost certain that Pateh was quite popular in Kerman during that time.
Pateh is a fabric on which different designs are sewn with a needle. The fabric on which the sewing is done is called “Areez”, which is made of thick wool, and the colorful threads are called “Ris”.
Iranian women artists spend hours on making a pateh so that it becomes a work of art.
