Bone hairpiece

I carved this out of a solid piece of bone using a rotary tool. I get the bone from the butcher and boil it, process it and clean it. Then I decide upon a Design and start carving. Trust me it's acually very clean.

The funny thing is this piece was a gift to a friend f mine and it took me 3 weeks to complete. So I met her once it was finished all the while thinking if it would fit her hair or would it be too large an slip out. But it turns out she cut her hair and it was so short it didnt fit anywhere on her head.
