Wood hair accessories through ages
Human history had some magnificent jewelry and accessories made from precious metals and stones and bones and antlers. From Japan to Europe women enjoyed adorned their hair with combs, forks and pins. Still we use hair accessories. But for me wood makes a difference from of those of bone and metals.
When we look at the past wood carving hair forks from Egypt found dated back to 1635-1458 BC.
In Asia and Africa wooden hair accessories was also important for both males and females.
