The mirror on an Iranian Haft-sin table is called ayeneh in Persian.
Ayeneh means “mirror” and is a common non-sin addition to the Haft-sin arrangement. Unlike the seven principal items whose names begin with sin, the mirror is included for its symbolism rather than its initial letter. It is often associated with reflection, clarity and self-awareness at the beginning of a new year.
A traditional display may place the mirror behind or among the symbolic foods and plants. Candles, painted eggs, a Qur’an and poetry books are also frequently seen, although the exact arrangement differs across families and communities.
Romanization varies: ayeneh, āyeneh and ayineh all represent Persian آینه. “Sofreh” means a spread or cloth used for serving or displaying items, so it describes the surface or setting, not the mirror itself.
