Used to decorate the horse litter during a wedding celebration, this unusual trapping is sturdily woven with glistening wool, creating a pattern composed of three pairs of stylised affronting bird heads in green, enhanced by contours in ivory cotton. Complete with multicoloured tassels, this authentic tribal object aspires to be elected to the ranks of wall art.
