Horse Khunti Turban Hanger From Rajasthan - 19th Century Pillars one of the classic coloursThis Indian turban hanger (called a khunti in Hindi) has been carved in the shape of a horse and is stylistically from Southern Rajasthan. This would have been used daily for turbans or a clothes peg. It would have been one of a pair on either side of a door.
