Looks like a hair piece, with pins to sit in place.
difficult to be certain, but thought prob worn on body, around neck? :)
Difficult to access the size and distance between the pieces. Love items like this.
the pins are about 12cm long and whole set about 24cm wide, if that helps :)
The curator bets on 'dress pins'
Would have loved to see the dress they went with. It must have been stunning.
