Very old piece of fabric from a Nepalese shamanic costume. The pictures speak for itself when it comes to the beautiful, masterful handwork that has been done here on this piece; it's really a work of art.
The piece is very heavy, because of all the heavy, fossilized shells. And, due to its high age, it has now become too heavy for the cotton fabric; the fabric is unfortunately tearing in some places and some shells have fallen off. So in this condition, it will not be suitable anymore to sew it on to for example your own ritual clothing, drumbag or attributes. But maybe when you're handy, you can sew the whole piece on some extra layer of fabric to stabilize it. And otherwise, of course it will just be a very beautiful item to place on your altar, connecting you with all the energies from rituals this piece has been a part of during its long years of age.
Size (measured only the rectangle of fabric,not the shells and fringes hanging beneath it); approximately 62 x 25 centimeters.
