For your consideration is this lovely hitched headstall crafted by an inmate at the Deer Lodge Prison from the 1980's. This tightly woven headstall shows a dyed horsehair construction. The brow band has an intricately woven depiction of two mustangs facing each other in yellow and white dyed horsehair. The nose band and cheek pieces show a geometric pattern in the same yellow and white dyed coloration. The throat latch on this headstall is constructed of leather and features a simple barbed wire hand stamped design. A truly unique and desirable piece of this headstall is the woven Montana design on the head piece. The headstall also features two silver horse head conchos and measures approximately 19” x 10”. Resin Horse Head NOT INCLUDED for display only.
