Laurel – Collette d’Avignon

Late Bronze Age Hairnet

light 2

adjective

1. of little weight; not heavy.

To meet the invitation for the display at 12th Night I constructed a hairnet inspired by one found with the body of a woman who died around 1351 BC, and was buried in a mound in Borum Eshøj, Denmark. At 0.2 ounces, it is definitely of little weight.
