Description

A finely carved miniature bone comb with five narrow teeth, surmounted by a shell-like fan motif flanked with volute scrolls. The small scale suggests use as a decorative accessory, votive piece, or part of a personal grooming set. The craftsmanship reflects the late antique tradition of elaborately decorated personal items.
