France, early 17th Century, wood, carved on both sides, traces of paint. KF Comb Research Project.
Reproduction of a French 15th Century comb, which was very popular at court and in literary circles. It draws its inspiration from courtly romance and exalts the chivalrous ideal through the scenes carved on the central band, while the mounts welcome fantastic animals and chimeras, full of gothic bestiary
Hair Comb 1532... Richly carved boxwood combs were given as expensive love tokens in medieval times. The carver chose boxwood because it was the only wood with a sufficiently straight and dense grain to allow him to carve such fine teeth without splitting. He cut the teeth using a double-bladed saw called a stadda. A skilled craftsman with a steady hand could usually cut up to fifty teeth per inch.
