Offered here for your consideration is a Turkomann fancy bridle and breast collar with display stands. This showpiece set is sure to grab attention. The breast collar is made of a stout leather decorated over nearly all its surface with silver appliques that meet in the center at a protruding incised silver shield and terminate at their other ends in silver triangles with three stones resting in silver bezels. The bridle is similarly decorated in detailed adornment of stones, some silver and brass appliques and brass shields that, though smaller, mimic the central decoration of the breast collar. The center of the headpiece has a large brass plate with 7 reddish and 2 black stones set in bezels, and from that headpiece there are 6 leather straps decorated with silver and brass interspersed with red stones and terminating in brass dangles. Finally, from headpiece to noseband a leather band with brass appliques, dangles, and shields runs down the horses face to culminate in a stone studded triangle at the nose. A detailed, lavish eye catching set that comes with the display stands that you should bid on today!
