“...Heroism at command, senseless brutality, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
Albert Einstein

Border and flower stems of the barrette were painted in liquid bronze, which is not going to fade with time. The barrette was covered with several layers of lacquer for shine and protection. Please note, that this barrette like most of the barrettes sold by UzbekAlive has 3 levels of metal clip adjustment. Our barrettes can be worn by ladies with both thin and thick hair due to this adjustment feature.
Dear Nilufar,I've been very busy lately, so I couldn't write when it first arrived, but I wanted to take the time to thank you for the lovely "green comb" scarf. I have become a huge fan of Uzbek ikat thanks to your site, gave the first one as a gift to my mother, who loved it, have recommended the site to a textile-loving friend, and am planning to order lots more from you when I get back to the UK in October! By the way, I'm curious as to what the original Uzbek name for ikat is - I thought ikat was an Indonesian word? And lucky for us, it's a huge fashion trend at the moment!best wishes,
[Nilufar's response to a question part:] Uzbek word for ikat is abr (originally Persian word meaning “a cloud“). However, an Indonesian term ikat is also widely used these days.
