Victorian Remembrance with Plaited Hair from 25 different people - Blond Hair

  • 1870
By
1870. Water stain right margin.. A 10" x 8" sheet with a variety of designs of plaited hair from 25 different people held in place with miniature Victorian floral scraps. From a single loop or strands to elaborate weavings of multiple hair chains and loops. Intricate fine weave. Of particular note is that all of the hair in this work is blond with the exception of one light brown strand at the lower left. Housed in rustic tramp art frame. This would have most likely been a family remembrance piece.
