A baseball-sized lock of Elvis Presley's hair was snatched up at auction for $72,500.

Los Angeles-based auction house Kruse GWS Auctions revealed in a statement that Elvis Presley's "pot of hair" was sold at an auction that also included the sale of the iconic jumpsuit worn by the artist at his 1972 Madison Square Garden performance for $1,012,500.

The auction house said that the lock of hair was collected over several haircuts by Homer Gilleland, Elvis' personal barber for more than two decades. The hair was stored in a plastic bag by Gilleland, who gifted it to Thomas Morgan, a close friend of the barber and the singer.

The extensive documentation included with the hair, which has since been transferred to a sealed jar, includes plane tickets from occasions when Elvis took the barber to cut his hair and a certificate of authenticity signed by an official from "the world's most trusted authority on hair collection."
