Description

Man's Turban Holder or shoulder cloth. Primarily green silk embroidery with yellow silk attaching the sequins. A few triangles of yellow, white, blue and magenta in the borders. 3 expertly done rows of needle weaving adorn each end and 5 in the center. The peacocks on each side are virtually identical with beautifully original tails, bodies and feet. The delicate beaded fringe made up of blue, pink and red glass beads with multicolored tassels make this pieces feel like it was made with love.
