THIS EYE PATCH IS A HALF QUILL OSTRICH HIDE WITH LEATHER BACKING.
This
is an OSTRICH skin eye patch, handmade with a dome to allow the free
movement of eyelashes. The elastic is adjustable, comfortable and
replaceable. The patch can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Each patch is different due to the variations in hide. This one is from the half quill area on the ostrich.
The
crown or back of the ostrich has the most bumps or quill follicles
while the sides are quite smooth. The area between is the half quill
area where quill follicles are not so dense.
The
leather is distinctive for its pattern of bumps or vacant quill
follicles, ranging from a smooth field to bumps in varying densities.
