Description
This
hair
wreath
was
made
from the
hair
of
members
of the
Loffer
family
of
DeGraff
,
Ohio
.
It
is
framed
and
measures
33
"
x
36
"
(83.82
x
91.44
cm)
.
It
is
of
fairly
simple
design
, and
may
have been
made
by a
young
girl
. To
create
a
wreath
,
hair
"
flowers
" were
made
by
wrapping
locks
of
hair
around
a
piece
of
wire
and
bending
the
wire
to the
proper
shape
.
Flowers
from
different
family
members
were then
woven
together
to
make
the
wreath
.
Hair
wreaths
,
often
made
as
memorials
of
deceased
family
members
, were
popular
in the
nineteenth
century
.
When
a
family
member
died
, his or her
hair
would be
placed
in the
center
of the
wreath
.
It
would be
moved
to
another
section
of the
wreath
when
another
family
member
passed
away
. The
top
of the
wreath
was
always
left
open
,
symbolizing
the
passage
to
heaven
.
Hair
wreaths
were
often
very
elaborate
and
could
be
embellished
with
beads
,
ribbons
and
silk
flowers
.
Once
completed
, the
wreath
would be
placed
in a
frame
,
often
with
silk
matting
.
