1803 Old Indonesian Comb

Indonesian Comb made of bone

Artistically carved comb

'Heavy is the head that wears the crown' - the man has to support his crown / hairstyle with his hands  :)

Note the arm bands, thigh bands and very typical earring and pendant worn.

Probably Dayak art.

Likely early-mid 1900s
