An oil distilled from it was used as incense in their religious ceremonies. Some churches still use it & as sandarac oil it is valued for medicinal purposes. The burls are as beautiful as they are fragrant & the Greeks & Romans vied with each other over furniture made from them. A rare, stunning exotic wood. A truely beautiful burl! Photo is example of wooden hair clip in a specific wood type. Each is individually handmade & may have some slight variations in appearance. These Barrettes are built to a very high standard for a lifetime of wear! I've been making wooden barrettes for over 20 years. My barrettes are all made from SOLID wood. Never a thin layer of veneer over a cheaper base wood They are screwed not glued to the made in France clips for a strong, durable, mess free joint. Glue joints on barrettes will eventually fail over time. These will not.
