DescriptionMemorial hair wreath in the shape of a "U" or horseshoe, with a small 'sprig' at the center. Framed in a round frame that appears to be part of a wheel from a spinning wheel.
NotesObject Note: After working with the CHS spinning wheels, it was noticed that frame of this piece is most likely a wheel from a spinning wheel, as it has the same design, and also grooves around the outside edge that are found on spinning wheels.Status
