Lock of Napoleon's hair sells in N.Zealand auction
WELLINGTON (AFP) – A lock of hair cut from the head of former French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte shortly after his death has sold for just over 13,000 US dollars in an auction in New Zealand.
The lock was bought by an unnamed collector in London, according to Hamish Coney, managing director of auctioneers Art+Object.
The hair, in a tightly-bound circle, was cut the morning after Napoleon's death on the Atlantic island of St Helena in 1821.
