Horse Regalia from Delhi, India

This is a lovely set of regalia, there are two blankets and one neck cover. It would have been made for a wedding and is typical of the work in that region, based on pearl decoration. There are made with great speed and never finished off very well and as they are used for a day it does not matter. These are in good condtion, and the velvet is a good colour. the golden thread on the sides is worn and has been repaired in places.
