Description: | An incomplete medieval double-sided ivory or horn comb. Most of the row of thick teeth survive complete; however the majority of the thin teeth are missing. One end of the solid section is also broken. The comb is undecorated and is dark brown with patches of red and black corrosion deposits. It measures 45.5mm (length) x 52.2mm (width) x 4.4mm (thickness) and weighs 8.51g.A similar comb is illustrated in Egan et al 1991 ( 368-370, ref. 1721) and is from an early 14th century deposit. However Macgregor (1985, 82; ref. 47e) discuss a similar comb as 16th century. Therefore a wide medieval to post medieval date range is suggested for this comb.
