Description: | A small incomplete Post-Medieval ivory comb, dating 17th to 18th century AD. The comb is double-sided and made in one piece. The central section has parallel sides with the same sized, close-set teeth on both sides. Approximately 50% of the teeth from each side are missing. The remaining teeth appear to be complete and seem to taper in length towards the centre creating a concave edge.A similar comb is published in MacGregor (1985:80 fig f), however the above find appears to be a smaller example of the type.Identification by Geoff Egan, PAS Finds Advisor Medieval and Post Medieval Artefacts.Dimensions: length: 41.09mm; width: 60.51mm; thickness: 2.49mm; weight: 5.75g.Reference: MacGregor, A. 1985.
