Donkey collar with mirror
Overview
Mirror set within a donkey collar complete with hames and side straps. Collar is leather lined and hames are wood with metal fittings painted black.
Historical information
Originally, this donkey collar would have been part of a harness used to attach a donkey to a load such as a cart. As animal transport declined, animal collars were no longer needed. When embedded with a mirror, they became fashionable, functional art pieces.
