Pair of handmade tribal tassels in deep reddish-pinks, deep purple and green with white beads at the ends of the fringes. Loops at the top of each for attaching. The colors are still fairly vibrant and there is beading wrapped around each of the tassel strands. This pair is not particularly old, but is not new either, and probably has been around since the 1970s or so. Amazingly cute small tassel is attached to each piece by the loop and could be taken off and used separately if you’d like.
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!
