Description: | A handlle from a handled comb with dog-toothed patterning, dating to the Mid to Late Saxon period, i.e., between the 8th and 11th centuries AD.19mm in diameter at the base and 83mm long up to the break. Six grooves have been carved around the base if the handle, taking up approximately 10mm depth in total. half-way up the handle (starting at 30mm from the base) are six similar grooves with a 'dog-tooth' patterning in the middle. Four further grooves can be seen at the upper portion of the handle, at the point at which the handle would have met the comb. These final grooves do not, however, go all the way around the handle. This is the point at hich the artefact is broken. At the break, a groove 4mm wide can be seenTool marks are visible at the base of the horizontal groove.It was discovered in association with sherd of early medieval pottery, recorded as NARC-A8EA63.
