"Jahle" is a type of clay jug with a short or tall neck. People in the region of Hormozgan, until recently, used it to keep water cool in the scorching heat of the south. Only a few Jahle makers remain, mostly in Minab. Nowadays, Jahle is not only used for cooling water but also in some households, paper flowers are placed in them.

Jahle is also employed elsewhere because of its rounded shape and delicate body. It is used as a kind of percussion instrument either individually, alongside other Jahles, or within a group of traditional percussion instruments.
