Horse trapping: dark brown leather with grey stitching, probably white originally, decorated with circular studs similar to drawing pins in appearance, in white, brown and black, in a pattern of fours on the main strap. A central boss domed with a central tube and three studs in dull brass; with spaced pendants of flat, plain, dark leather, interspersed with pale blue glass beads to counteract the evil eye.
