Antique Hair Base Roach

10.5″ Antique Red Hair Based Roach

This antique hair base roach is a remarkable piece of traditional regalia, showcasing both artistry and age. Crafted with red deer hair on both the inside and outside, the roach reflects the meticulous skill of its maker. Each strand of deer hair has been carefully attached in very fine bundles, creating a dense and upright appearance. Over time and through use, the hair has naturally thinned, particularly along the outer edges, giving the piece a distinctive patina that speaks to its history.

Measuring 10.5 inches in length, the roach has been stored wrapped to preserve its form, ensuring the hair continues to stand upright as intended. Complementing the deer hair are tufts of porcupine hair, attached in similarly tiny bundles. These vary in length, adding texture and dimension to the overall design. The combination of deer and porcupine hair creates a striking visual effect that honors traditional craftsmanship.

Included with this antique hair base roach are two functional accessories: a wooden stick for wrapping and a small wooden spreader measuring 3.5 inches by 2 inches.
