Handmade Carved Ebony (Black Sandalwood) Hair Stick: Little Lotus

Description:

Chinese traditional hair stick handicrafts have a very long history which can be traced back to over 4000 years ago in Shang Dynasty. In ancient China, both men and women liked to use hair sticks. It was also a traditional custom in ancient China that emperors gave hair sticks to their ministers as precious gifts at important festivals. 

Ebony, a dense black hardwood, is dense enough to sink in water and hard enough to sustain complicated crafting. It is finely-textured and has a very smooth finish when polished, making it valuable as an ornamental wood.

Details:
