    RARE AFRO-AMERICAN HAND CARVED WOOD TRADITIONAL HAIR COMB MAROON Type of Object: Wooden Comb Ethnic Group: Saramacca (village of Pikinslee) Country of Origin: Suriname Materials: Wood Approximate Age: 20+ years Dimensions: 11.0" by 2.0" by 0.25" Weight: 54 g; 0.20 lbs; 1.9 oz Overall Condition: Used, ( stained bc of usage) This comb shows incredible carving with a thick nice dark brown patina. The wearing of an elaborate comb such as this one, is a sign of prestige for it demonstrates that the woman doesn't carry cargo on her head. Combs are among the oldest tools found by archaeologists. This comb was acquired from my last trip February 2015 in Suriname (formerly Dutch Guiana), North east coast of South America.
