Hi Everyone!

Details:
Chinese Hairsticks or hairpins were used during the Qin dynasty and were made out of various materials, such as jade, gold, silver, ivory, bronze, bamboo, carved wood, tortoiseshell and bone, as well as others.

Hairsticks played an important role in the coming of age of Han Chinese women.
When a woman turned 15 she would have a hairpin ceremony held to mark the rite of passage to becoming and adult.
They were also used during engagments. A Chinese women would take the hairpin from their hair and give it to their fiancé. After the wedding, the husband would then return the hairpin to his newly-wed wife by placing it back in her hair.
