Description
Six small blocks made of combined red and blue glass sections that have been taped together. The different glass blocks are intended to correlate to different types of hair colour; they are labeled with hand-inked labels such as 'ash blonde hair', 'dark brown hair', and 'red hair'. They are all stored in a small jewelry box padded with purple velvet and with an ornate gold-coloured clasp.
