Icelandic goat hair dress sporran in an Edwardian styling.

This is a project I just finished up. It is the first long haired sporran I have made.
I realize this may not be to some people's taste, but I think it does make a statement.
The late chief, Norman MacLeod of MacLeods used to wear one something like this.
It always impressed me when I saw him in it.

I have enough goat hair for one more sporran along these lines.

How would one say 'Wow, gorgeous!" in their local dialect?

Thanks Father Bill. Glad you like it.

What is the purpose of the tassel on the back?

It is just a pull string for the pop out pouch. Most sporrans of this type had silk cords to open the pouch. I simply added the tassel because I had one that matched the colour scheme I was working with.
