Lucrezia Borgia’s Hair Reliquary
I can’t find any lengthy articles about this particular piece, but here we have a reliquary of Lucrezia Borgia’s hair, created in the 1920’s.
It’s a pretty fantastic piece (which reminds me of today’s steampunk sculptures…but clearly precedes them by many decades). She’s got quite a lovely natural hair color. Most women need to get that out of a bottle.
It’s worth reading the bio, as Lucrezia Borgia is shrouded in all manner of scandalous allegations.

So true about the steampunk look. I can’t help but feel that simply HAS to spin around and light up!
