This is a pair of antique horse & mule hames made of iron with brass knobs dating to the late 1800s. Perfect wall decor for a rustic, primitive, or country farm house decor. Hames are a component of a horse harness, specifically part of a horse collar. They are two curved pieces, traditionally made of metal or wood, that attach to the collar and connect to the traces (straps or chains) used to pull loads like wagons or plows. Hames help distribute the pulling force across the horse's shoulders and neck, making it more efficient and comfortable for the animal.

This pair of hames measures 26.5" x 4" x 2". Condition is rustic but good, very solid. See less
