Turkoman Tribal Tassels Set - Vintage Silk / Cotton Tribal Tassels - Belly Dance

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!

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.
