Hair pin/stick
Hair pin/stick. The stick portion is black, with the shape transitioning from pointed and conical to squared. Attached are three strands of beads of sparkling blue and pale white, and each strand has, at different points in the pattern, the mother of pearl from abalone in a shape reminiscent of a pine tree. Each strand ends with more abalone in a freeform oval shape which is smaller than the piece higher up on the strand.
