[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9862027, member: 2844"]And export. Looks like the leather is deerskin. The threads and the knot on the back look like synthetic sinew. These specific 'hairpipes' were made in India. The slightly unfinished sides like on the photo below are indicative of Indian hairpipes. Better quality hairpipes are made in Hongkong, but they cost a bit more. Both Indian and Chinese made hairpipes are used a lot by Native Americans. [ATTACH=full]494433[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
