Description: | A Post-Medieval ivory comb fragment (17th - 18th century AD). The comb is double-sided and made in one piece. The central section has straight, parallel sides. The majority of the body and one end plate of the comb are missing. Most of the teeth are intact and on one side the teeth are finer. Dimensions: length: 64.28mm; width: 28.72mm; thickness: 3.58mm; weight: 6.51g.A similar comb is published in MacGregor, A., 1985. Bone Antler Ivory & Horn. The Technology of Skeletal Materials Since the Roman Period. London and Sydney: Croom Helm. Page 80; Figure (f). MacGregor (1985, 81) dates similar double-sided combs with thicker cross-sections to the medieval period and those with thinner cross-sections to the post-medieval period.
