Description: | An Iron Age copper alloy incomplete comb (1st century AD). The comb is made from a sheet of copper alloy; it has a semi-circular (in plan) handle with a central triangular perforation and teeth along the straight edge. The overall shape is slightly distorted through damage and the teeth are incomplete. There does not appear to be any decoration on the handle.
A similar comb has been found in Langbank, Renfrewshire but that example is made from bone, has a small circular perforation and carved decoration on the handle (MacGregor 1976: no.275).
Dimensions: length:41.95mm; width: 28.45mm; thickness: 1.5mm; weight: 5.0g.
