It dates from the 2nd quarter of the 14th Century and has been suggested that it belonged to a blond European. The object has been published in "Dress Accessories" by Geoff Egan & Frances Pritchard (http://www.museumoflondonshop.co.uk/dress-accessories.htm) and you can always book an appointment to view the artefact with one of our archive curators: http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/Collections-Research/LAARC/Contact/ Adam Hi Carla,

I'm fascinated however by the medieval hair extension! Do you have any info about the context of the find and a date? Thank you, Carla Hi,

As your daughter is interested in archaeological textiles, she should contact our dress & fashion section of our history collections department. Contact details can be found by following this link: http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/English/Collections/1700Today/Dress-fashion.htm I also recommend she checks out this excellent book about archaeological textiles: http://www.museumoflondonshop.co.uk/textiles--amp;-clothing-by-elizabeth-crowfoot-frances.htm Unfortunately, our volunteer programme currently has no opportunities, but if she is interested in general volunteering with archaeological finds, from Oct-Dec 2010, we will be transferring our volunteer project to the Museum of London itself and she can join in with a "Hands On Archaeology" session: http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/English/EventsExhibitions/Events/eventDetails.htm?eventID=2804 Best wishes Adam Dear Grant,
