Carved Fish Wooden Hair Pin, 7 Inches Long

This hair pin is carved from dark wood and is 7 inches long. It has two long prongs that slip into a twist or bun, and the top end is carved into a small fish with the tail pointing out. The wood is a deep brown with a smooth finish.

Wooden hair forks like this are an easy way to hold a twist without elastic bands. Slide the prongs through the twist, tilt the pin toward the scalp and let it catch. Fish are a common motif in Thai carving, and ponds, rivers and rice fields are part of daily life. Wipe the wood with a dry cloth and keep it away from water.
