The tassels are in varying shades of red, brown, yellow, blue, green, and purple. Opposite to the tassels, the larger braid terminates at a small vestigial cradle worked in the same yarn with a triangular motif. Continuing with the same colours, a small solid braid with a chevron motif extends from the other side of the cradle.
