Native American Quilled Bridle With Antique Bit And Stand

This is your opportunity to own a spectacular quilled bridle with turquoise and silver embellishments, an antique bit on it and it comes with the display stand. Apparently from the Northern Plains, this bridle is richly decorated all along the brow band with brass buttons, two silver conchos with turquoise cabochons, mirrors, and brass danglers. Topping it off is another 3 inches with strips of tightly wrapped and brightly colored quills crowned with red dyed horsehair. The cheek pieces are entirely covered in multi-colored quill strips. The cheek pieces are finished off with silver and turquoise conchos. The iron bit is decorated with incised lines and includes very nice braided rawhide reins. To top it off, all this comes with a display stand.
