the traditional tibetan slings are multipurpose.
Used for herding animals (in puchis case I believe the family had yaks), but can also be used as a tumpline for securing loads to your back/head.

The tassles are decorative.
I have tried her sling and it's surprisingly responsive for it's length.
Probably the longest sling used in the balearic competitions.
Shorter slings are generally better for close target shooting.

Puchi grew up on a farm in tibet and used a sling in her everyday chores as a young girl.

So it doesn't get anymore authentic.

And using that start to stretch the kinks out of a long sling makes sense !
