Victorian hair art was a fashionable way to keep a loved one’s lock of hair close to the heart, one form of “memento mori”. Most were quite simple and small, but some became very elaborate with braiding and weaving.

To modern views, this, and other Victorian death rituals, were “macabre” or morbid, but it was meant to be sweet and sentimental.Victorian Hair Art and Mourning Traditions

If you dare, there is another Victorian tradition you might be interested in: Victorian death (or postmortem) Photography.
