Metal spring-clip hair barrette

Object/Artifact

A hair barrette (hair clip) with a curved, elongated cover finished in orange (enamel or paint over metal), shown front and back. The front (first image) is a smooth, gently arched bar; the reverse (second image) shows the fastening — a bright formed-metal spring-clip bar seated within the orange cover and anchored at both ends, of the standard bend-over sprung-clip type that snaps shut to grip the hair. The orange/pink finish is glossy with some wear; the metal clip shows light tarnish/soiling. The construction is consistent with manufactured (factory-made) production.
