Shaped Hair Forms

Acorn Brooch, 1850-60 (71.152)

This delicately fashioned brooch features four hair acorn shapes. The acorns are tightly woven and incorporate gold components to support the acorn shape. Even though this piece has gold elements, it is understated enough for the middle stages of mourning.
