This little hairpin is a very precious accessory from the ancient Chinese noble family. People first used copper to create a base of the hairpin. Then they placed the feather onto the surface. All those feathers were inlaid firmly. However, after so many years, there must be some wear off. But this piece is kept in a very good condition. Majority of the feathers are still in place. There might have some stones or jewelries set onto the surface too, but they fell off after so many years. You can restore the piece in your own way later on. This kind of hairpin was especially created for wealthy family ladies. So that the craftsmanship and the style have a high standard of quality. Right now, we seldom see these items available in the market because of the rareness.
