Physical description
Group of eight tassels in various patterns and colours in printed cotton fabrics. The tassels are constructed from cotton fabric in the shape of a tassel. They are constructed from folded fabric wrapped around itself to create volume at the base. Two thirds of the way up is a horizontal band that bounds the fabric together. The top is finished with a knot and the end of the tie becomes the top of the tassel. (1-2) Two tassels are printed in blue, pink, yellow and white stripes in varying widths, with blue being the major colour. (3) One tassel is printed with zig-zag edge thick curved brown lines on and orange background. (4-5) Two tassels are printed with randomly placed small blue triangles on a white background. (6-8) Three tassels are printed with thick, zig-zag edge curved lines on a white background.
