Traditional H Comb with Turquoise Inlay

Ref: ET-1208-002

This is a traditional H shaped comb probably originating in Turkmenistan or Turkey. The comb itself is of softwood with two rows of hand cut teeth, one finer than the other. It is overlaid with a case of silver tone metal with brass inlay and three large oval ornamental turquoise cabochons. The design is the same on both sides.

This is a comparatively simple example of combs from the region; many being entirely engraved all over with elaborate foliate designs.

Size: 3¾ x 3¾ ins (approx 5 x 9.50 cms)
