This is a SINGLE tassel
Total length of tassel is 17 inches including loop. White beads above the bottom small tassels. There is a really nice grouping of hollow dangles at the top that makes a wonderful jingle. the strands are threadwrapped with what looks like very old metallic thread and some colorful thread as well. Loop at the top for attaching. Colors are all mostly faded, but you can still see black, orange, purple and red. Several of the small tassels at the very bottom of the strands are odd little clumps now. This is a gorgeous OLD piece if you like old, worn, tribal pieces. Yum.
Turkoman peoples 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!
