Keep the sheepskin cord dry, blotting away moisture rather than soaking it.
Store hanging or flat so the tassel strands do not tangle.
Wipe the brass with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or abrasives.
Because each piece is handmade, expect small variations in cord tone, braid tightness, and tassel length.

A closer look
This handmade sheepskin cord pendant is a Tibetan-style and Mongolian knife accessory, designed as a versatile hanging charm for bags, vehicles, keys, and knives. The piece is constructed from natural sheepskin cord, which is braided into a dense, tight weave that gives the cord a firm, slightly textured surface with a soft matte finish. The cord color is an off-white or cream shade, showing subtle natural variation in tone across the braided sections and the loose tassel strands. The braiding is uniform and consistent, with visible interlocking strands that create a repeating diagonal pattern along the length of the cord.
The central decorative element is a brass saddle-shaped fitting, which serves as the focal point of the pendant. This brass component has an antique, aged gold appearance with a warm, muted yellow tone and a satin-to-matte surface finish rather than a high polish. The saddle fitting is shaped like a curved, crescent-like arch with a broad, flattened top surface and downward-curving ends, resembling a miniature saddle or a stylized yoke. The upper face of the brass fitting features intricate embossed or engraved scrollwork and floral-like ornamentation, with fine raised lines and recessed darkened areas that create contrast and highlight the decorative pattern. The edges of the brass piece are slightly rounded and finished smoothly, with no sharp burrs visible. The brass fitting is described as being made of full copper or brass material, and all metal hardware components on the pendant are likewise made of copper or brass.
Positioned directly beneath the brass saddle fitting is a cylindrical agate bead. The agate bead has a translucent to semi-translucent quality with a warm reddish-brown to amber coloration, showing internal banding and subtle color gradation from deeper red tones to lighter honey or orange hues. The bead surface is polished to a smooth, glossy finish that catches and reflects light, creating a bright highlight along its curved surface. The bead is cylindrical in shape, with a length noticeably greater than its diameter, and it sits snugly within the curve of the brass saddle fitting above it.
Below the agate bead, the cord continues in a braided section, flanked by two brass spacer rings or barrel-shaped beads. These brass spacers have a cylindrical form with slightly convex or rounded outer surfaces and a warm golden-brass color consistent with the saddle fitting. Their finish is smooth with a soft metallic sheen, and they serve to segment the braided cord into distinct sections while adding visual rhythm to the overall design. The braided cord sections above and below these spacers are consistent in width and weave density, maintaining a uniform cylindrical profile throughout.
At the top of the pendant, the cord passes through a solid brass ring, which functions as the primary attachment point for hanging the charm on keys, bags, or other items. This ring is circular with a smooth, rounded cross-section and a warm brass tone matching the other metal components. The cord is secured to the ring with a tight knot, and a short braided section extends downward from the ring before reaching the saddle fitting. At the bottom of the pendant, below the lower brass spacer, the braided cord terminates in a knot, from which four loose tassel strands extend downward. These tassel strands are the same off-white sheepskin cord material, left unbraided and hanging freely with slightly uneven lengths, giving the piece a natural, handcrafted appearance. The strand ends appear to be cut cleanly without fraying.
The overall construction of the pendant is linear and symmetrical along its vertical axis, with all components—the brass ring, braided cord sections, saddle fitting, agate bead, brass spacers, and tassel—aligned in a single straight line. The proportions are balanced, with the decorative saddle and bead assembly occupying the central portion of the pendant, the braided cord providing structural length above and below, and the tassel adding visual weight and movement at the base.
