Vintage handmade Turkoman tribal tassel. Eight individual tassel cords with thread-wrapping, each ending in a cotton/silk tassel, metal tassel cap with metal dangles, glass beads, and small white seed beads at the ends of most of the fringes. Colors are faded reds, greens and purples. These tassels are old and worn with soft colors and a nice feel to them. They would look stunning 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.

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.
