Description |
Ornately braided leather harness with bit for a camel. Two lengths of ornately braided leather ropes are attached to either side of a steel bit. The two ropes are joined to a metal ring with a swivel, where a length of a single braided leather rope is attached to another ring. It may be used for racing camels, as a bit is not used for camels since they chew cud. |
