³ The trappings of the horse are interesting. The saddle is of the chārjāma type with short stirrups. The reins are double and the head-harness is elaborate. There are leather straps round the throat and across the forehead, and embroidered bands round the nose and across the muzzle. The leather bands at their joints are decorated with embroidered rosettes and a large tassel hangs below the lower jaw of the animal.
