"Solid Wood Comb Decorated With A Seated Figure, Probably Zaire"
Comb probably Zaire on its support surmounted by a sculpted character and at the base geometric designs engraved around the end of the 19th century, beginning of the 20th century.
Combs serve both as adornment and as a detangling tool; and the decoration it carries is often a way of conveying a message.
