BAVANAT— Lat. 30° 27'N. Long. 53°-42'E. Elev.
A village in Ears, situated northwards of Shiraz, and 29 mdes south-south
west of Deh Bid. It is the third stage from Yazd on the road to Shiraz,
and though nearlv 100 miles south-west of the former the Bavanat moun
tains are visible from near it. The intervening desert is crossed by caravans.
It possesses many gardens and abundance of fruit, specially raisins, which
it exports in addition to a great quantity of wheat, walnuts, fruit of
the sinjid, and jauz-aghand i.e., flesh of pared pears or peaches rolled
round walnuts. The few Europeans who have visited this place did so in
search of khar-i-Girdu, i.e., the excrescences of the walnut tree ; some
trees that had been matured were purchased for 400 krans Good wooden
spoons are manufactured as also fantastically shaped padlocks, but the locks
except for being shaped like birds, and sometimes requiring two distinct
keys to open them, do not differ from ordinary Persian locks. The people
call themselves Turks and have the appearance of such ; the language
spoken is Persian (Yazdi) with a smattering of tribal Turkish and Arabic.
The winter is extremely rigorous.
The style of building of the village here and in the surrounding district is
with a layer of mahk (liqourice root) or of thorny plants between each
chineh of earth ; some of the walls seeming to be in almost equal propoi-
tions.— {MacGregor — Stack — Felly — Ross — Blackman.)
