Comb 19th-20th century

This intricately carved wooden comb, dating from the 19th or 20th century, is a testament to the artistry of an anonymous craftsman. The comb's design features a row of carved human faces at the top, followed by elaborate floral patterns that extend down to the comb's teeth. The red and black paint highlights the details of the design, adding depth and vibrancy to the piece. The comb, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the beauty and craftsmanship of traditional folk art.
