Weight 2.17g.This object is probably a one-piece single sided comb. In plan, it is slightly curved with parallel sides and the surviving part is pointed-oval in cross-section. One side has a finished smooth edge and the opposite has closely spaced denticulations, the vestigal remains of the narrow teeth. At each end is an old break.
