Titles: Hairwork necklace (Supplied title)
Description: Necklace made of 35 strands of brown human hair formed into hollow beads or globes. The globes were made by weaving hair around a pencil or other mold that was then slipped out when the work was finished. Afterwards, the hair tube was pinched and tied to form beads. A bow made of woven blonde hair and accented with hair-covered wooden beads decorates the joint of the necklace.
