One Assyrian sculpture shows a king on a lion hunt and the horses pulling his chariot have circular decorations on their bridle browbands.
The buckskin browband is beaded with two lanes of lane-stitch beadwork, sinew-sewn, the designs comprising simple triangles in medium blue, white-core rose, and greasy yellow on a white background, divided by small paired blocks of white-core rose.
English bridles tend to have more straps, including a noseband and a browband, while western bridles may or may not have these features.
