Confetti-lucite hair clip, pink ground (bobby-pin style)

Object/Artifact

A hair clip of the sprung bobby-pin/grip type, matching Record 1 in form: an elongated, gently undulating (wave-shaped) bar of clear plastic embedded with multicolored confetti flecks over a pink/translucent ground — chips of gold, red, green, and other colors suspended in transparent resin. The decorative bar is mounted on a thin sprung metal pin/wire that grips the hair, its plain end protruding at one side. Intact and glossy.
