Fine-toothed comb formed of a gently curved wooden handle into which are set a slightly splayed row of finely carved pointed wooden teeth, with a flat dark wooden slat, a curve carved into the lower part, at each end. The teeth are bound to one another across the upper half of their lengths by grey and red fibre which is so interwoven to form two rows of grey stripes divided by a red band. In addition a small length of woden rod runs along each side where the teeth emerge from the twined section, extending over each of the slats and attached to the handle by red twine at each end.
