You may have seen this kind of "tulip tassel" adorning the bottom edge of saye gosha bands but they are used in hair adornment as well. These hair tassels are usually found with long woven bands at the top and are colorful with crochet “caps”, cord wrapping and glass and/or metal beads. There are so many ways to use them! Leave them as they are and add to your hair garden, or attach to costume belts. You can make these shorter by cutting and sewing the woven wool band (so they don’t unravel) at the length you need, or cut them shorter and use just the decorated portion and add along the bottom edge of belts, attach to the ends of ties, or use as detailing on accessories.

This listing is for a set of six pieces as shown.
Please check photos carefully for condition. You will receive the exact piece(s) shown in the photos on this page. This is a USED piece that has previously been used as or adorned tribal clothing, accessories, household goods, animal trappings or other items. As a previously used tribal item it may have small flaws such as loose threads, missing beads, frayed edges, may be faded or worn, or have other small flaws.
A NOTE ON THE CONDITION OF TRIBAL ITEMS: Our tribal beadwork and textile items are used tribal pieces from faraway lands. As used pieces our items may be frayed, faded or otherwise reflect their prior lives as treasured tribal pieces. Please know that we strive to maintain the tribal allure of our items and therefore we do not clean or repair these pieces in any way. This not only maintains the old, tribal look of each piece that our belly dance customers seek, but also preserves the value of a piece that the cleaning process may diminish.
We do our best to describe any flaws that may be present, and we encourage you to read the full description and look at all photos closely to judge the condition of the item for yourself and know exactly what you are ordering. If you have questions about the condition of any item, please ask!
