Antique Northern Afghan tribal ceremonial horse cover.
Circa 1900.
This fine horse cover is made from narrow flat woven strips with weft work decoration, which have been stitched together. The two ''arms'' of the cover would pass under the horses neck and be joined. These covers were for use on special occasions such as weddings or tribal horse fairs. The show the importance of the horse in tribal life. This example is a light weight summer cover as it is not lined with felt.
The cover is in original condition with only very slight signs of use, there is one tassel missing on the right hand side, otherwise the condition is perfect.
