EGYPTIAN COPTIC WOODEN DOUBLE COMB
Coptic Culture, Ca. 100 BC - AD 100 . A wooden comb with a decorative program consisting of nine concentric circles on a central rectangular panel. The comb is set with thick teeth on one side and fine teeth on the other. Fine tooth combs were important in the ancient world for controlling lice, nits, and other pests. These would have been used for someone's natural hair rather than the elaborate wigs favoured by Egyptians, which required more complex tools. For similar see: The British Museum, Museum Number: EA.55052. For additional information, see: Mirjam Andres, (2002) Hessisches Puppenmuseum Hanau, "Die Antikensammlung" p. 236. Size: 85mm x 65mm; Weight: 5g Provenance: Prince collection, 1990s-2014, acquired from Antiken Kabinett, Germany. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.
