The Hair Bone is a hair bow with the ribbon swapped for a dinosaur bone. Sewing a Prehistoric Tibia together with a piece of Cloth at a Sewing Machine produces it, which makes it one of the few hats built out of something dug up rather than bought. Emily hands it out at the Desert Festival as well, as part of a full caveman outfit, and there is a slim chance of simply finding one while going about ordinary work on the farm. It is a small, funny piece of headwear that turns a farmer into something out of a much older era.


Location


The Prehistoric Tibia is the hard half. Artifact spots at the Railroad and in Cindersap Forest both produce it, so a hoe and a few dry days are enough to find one eventually. Pepper Rexes in the Skull Cavern drop it too, as one of the bones each of them leaves behind, and bone nodes broken open with a pickaxe can hold it as well.

Cloth is the easy half. A Loom turns Wool into it, a Recycling Machine makes it from Soggy Newspaper, and the Desert Trader will swap it for Aquamarine. The machine that joins the two sits in Emily and Haley's house, with a spare available as the reward for the Rock Rejuvenation special order.

The festival route needs no digging at all. Emily and Sandy give one free makeover a day during the Desert Festival in Spring, pulled at random from a long wardrobe, and the Hair Bone turns up in roughly one set in fifty.

There is a third and much stranger way to get one. Ordinary work has a tiny chance of turning up a cosmetic item out of nowhere: killing monsters, smashing crates and barrels, chopping trees, shaking a tree that is carrying seeds, digging artifact spots and panning in the river can all produce it. The odds are very low on any single action, but a farmer who plays for several years will usually stumble into one or two cosmetics this way without trying.

Effect


The bone is tied into the hair at the back, pale against whatever colour the hair happens to be, in the same position a bow would sit. It is subtle from the front and obvious from behind, which makes it one of the more wearable novelty hats. It goes best with the rougher clothes, and it was clearly meant to be worn with the Caveman Shirt and Grass Skirt it arrives with at the festival. Hats change nothing but appearance.

Notes


Only one copy of any artifact can go into the museum, and Gunther keeps what he is given, so a tibia donated for the collection is gone. Finding a second one is the price of having both the display case and the hat.

The bones are worth gathering for their own sake. The prehistoric set fills several gaps in the museum at once, and a Pepper Rex hunt that produces tibias is usually producing Dinosaur Eggs alongside them, which hatch into dinosaurs in a Big Coop.
