Old African hair comb

Old African hair comb from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo, mid-20th century). The comb is intricately handcrafted from wooden sticks and plant fibers, making it a remarkable ethnographic accessory and an essential tool for personal care. These combs are primarily used in Uganda (Karamoja) and Congo (Teke, Luba, and Songye). Age-appropriate signs of use (see photos). Dimensions: approx. 19 cm.
