Description: | Bridle; part of horse trappings. Green velvet embroidered in gold and silver. At the headpiece’s top there is a pin damascened in gold which shows three figures in a circle surrounded by an inscription: ‘HIS HICHNESS THE MAHARAJAH OF JNE END’. The motif is the same in both sides. There are two more pins with the same decorative motif at the headpiece’s joining point with the browband. The browband is decorated with a set of imitation of precious stones and a tassel. The front half of the nose band is made of horse hair.
Careful handling because the threads are very sensitive.
