Some colourful traditional collars for horses.
In old times, the beads were made of glass paste; progress has turned them into plastic ones. Only the ‘göz’ (= eye) amulet beads (the round ones, with a blue eye on a white background) are still made of glass; they should protect the animal from evil eye and accidents.
