"Tassel" is a 1950 decorative piece made by the Siwa Oasis, an ancient oasis in Egypt. The tassel, which is likely made for a garment or object, is woven with threads of different colors, mainly orange and green. It also features several white button-like ornaments and a fringe of threads. The piece is a beautiful example of traditional crafts from the Siwa Oasis, which continue to be popular today for their intricate details and unique design aesthetic.
