Qing Dynasty Chinese. The blue is probably kingfisher feather applique. Jade and carneilan, coral beads with floral motifs; lovely!
There are lots of articles about them online, especially good is this one.http://lediarunnels27221219.wordpress.com/2011/07/03/kanzashi/
Lovely! I love hairpins!
@Patty I looked at your link, fantastic what the Japanese ladies are wearing! Love these hairpins, although I try to limit my hairpins to Africans. But the Japanese ones are wonderful!
