Set of five vintage handmade Turkoman tribal tassels on a woven band. Seed bead tassels feature silk fringes at the top and bottom of each. I am not certain what this set was made for, but it resembles small groups of tassels that are used as an addition to a face veil. These tassels are old and worn with soft colors and a nice weight and feel to them. They would look stunning in a hair garden or used as a home decor accent.
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!
