This bandeau is made from a semi-circle of shiny black raffia ribbon. Five raffia bows -the same material as the base- are attached to the curved band. At the center of the band on the back a black grosgrain-wrapped plastic hair comb is stitched. Maker's labels are attached to the top rear of the comb.
