The hair-holder is beautifully woven from beach grasses. Woven beach grass has been used by several Alaska Native tribes, and for many uses, such as insulation for clothing, mats, baskets and much more. Upon close inspection you can see the details of the weaving. A wooden hair stick is used to keep this hair ornament in place. A perfect object to highlight long tresses.
