Goats are driven through the streets of Morocco by goat drivers stopping here and there before a house for the goats to be milked.  A unique way of delivering fresh milk.  The bells on the collar announce their arrival.  This hand-stitched leather goat bell collar consists of six metal bells each with a wooden clapper inside.  The leather band is held together by threading a carved wooden peg through leather loops on each end of the collar.
