Antique Victorian French Hair Work Mourning Miniature Urn Tombstone Willow

For sale here is a poignant and beautiful, French, Victorian, mourning miniature made with chopped and pulverized human hair. It depicts a tombstone for "MARIE" along with an urn and weeping willow. The hairwork is backed on a very light blue background.

There is a small bale on the back that has a piece of string which appears to have been used as a hanger. It's up to you if you want to hang it as it or swap out the hanger. It's a small measuring 4.25 x 4.75 inches including the frame.

Materials: Wood or composite frame, paint, porcelain or other backing, human hair, glass, paper, string. Second half of the 19th century. Please consider that unless a piece is hallmarked with the date, the date estimate is just that, an estimate. Condition: Good, antique condition with wear in keeping with age and use. There may be some loose hair here and there and some pieces sticking to the inside of the glass.

The frame has some areas where there are specs, holes, or paint loss. I have not cleaned it or tried to remove them. Age wear to the paper on back as shown.
