This exquisite bridle is richly decorated all along the brow band with turquoise, and magnificently engraved silver work with similar designs to the embellishments running all throughout the cheeks. The cheek pieces are finished off with two nice conchos. Adding to it is the iron bit which, also, features a fantastic design of a snake. Leather reins with nice details complete this great piece. Overall, it appears that Navajo silver and turquoise was added to an old Mexican bridle. It's an interesting piece, so be sure to add this bridle to your collection and bid now!
