Dark Green Wool Shako Cord with Raquette Tassels — French Napoleonic Style

A dark green wool hand-plaited cord in the tradition of French military shako cords (cordon de shako). Hand-twisted in a thick multi-strand rope braid, forming a large loop secured with a woven knot closure, and finished with dual "raquette" (racket/paddle-shaped) flemish-knot tassels with dense wool fringe, plus a smaller secondary fringe tassel — a tassel style closely associated with French infantry and line regiment shako cords.
