Willow Hair Memento
This is a French Napoleon III era sentimental hair artwork mourning miniature memento. It is entirely crafted from hair as a lasting memento of a lost loved one. This mourning art memento features a tomb marked with a cross under a willow. The details are beautiful. The work of art is circled by a brass frame and protected by a convex glass. I guess that originally, there was a black wooden frame.
The backplate is made of milk white opaline glass. It is gorgeous when you look at it through the light.
This one of a kind piece is a great devotional item of more than 150 years old.
Please take a close look at the photos, they are an integral part of the description.
Good antique condition with some normal signs of ages.
