Beautiful and different! I like these wooden combs - I have seen them being worn by Afar people in EThiopia and Eritrea- it looks quite unusual, especially as it is really mostly men who wear them. Great find!
@Betty thank you. Yes, Ingrid told me this too - that these combs are practically only worn by men, not just to comb, but as decoration and that they walk around with the combs in their hair! I saw them by Chance, an "old seller friend" of mine had them and I fell in love with their design. I just noticed the backside is decorated too (have to Change the description above).
Great picture again. Congratulations.
@Thank you very much, Chantal. The background is a wooden box with metal covered top, which I use as "treasure box" for some of my collection...... it just offered itself for the background of a picture.
