The Shanxi Museum's "Echoes of Antiquity" series of cellulose acetate hair claws draws inspiration from three of its most popular artifacts—the Bird-Shaped Zun of the Marquis of Jin, the Owl-Shaped You and the Western Zhou Jade Deer. 

Made of smooth, translucent cellulose acetate, the hair claws recreate the artifacts' iconic forms, ingeniously blending millennia-old elegance with contemporary hair accessories. Worn as part of an everyday look, they add a distinctive touch of cultural flair.

Highlight

Combining aesthetic appeal with practicality, the cellulose acetate features natural, cloud-like veining and an all-over translucence that catches the sunlight to produce a delicate sheen, beautifully evoking the warm, lustrous texture of ancient jade. The material is also lightweight and places no pressure on the scalp, ensuring comfortable wear. Strong and resilient, it does not easily snag or tangle the hair, while its firm grip provides a secure, long-lasting hold. The hair claws combine antique-inspired elegance with everyday functionality.
