Navajo Headstall

Navajo silver headstall bridle with an iron ring bit and flat braided rein with early forms of Navajo silverwork on each and every piece of the headstall. Filed silverware, chiseled and stamped on thick-cut leather. The two conchos on the side of the headstall were used to hide the buckles and the side pieces that cover the the adjustment areas. The reins have the flat braids and knots using leather.

Circa: Early 1800s
