Tie is made of many strands of dyed wool in red, green, pink and unprocessed tan, woven into designs such as dots, ‘x’ shapes, bows, and triangles, each branch differing from the others. Ends are unwoven and hang as tassels. At somewhat irregular intervals along both edges of four branches are attached small glass beads in a variety of colours.
