Pair of handmade tribal tassels in deep reddish-pinks, deep blues and greens with white beads at the ends of the fringes. Loops at the top of each for attaching. Blue and green colors are have minimal fadinf. Pinks are still vibrant. Best estimate is that these were made in the 1970s. The Turkoman people use tassels in their homes, on their clothing/accessories and on their animals. Traditionally they are used to distract the evil eye and keep evil spirits from focusing on the human or animals that are wearing them. Turkoman tassels add a lot of color to your hair garden, costume or other belly dance accessories. Plus they help to keep those evil spirits at bay!
