Slender and vertically oriented, this comb features a polished silver spine along the right edge, secured by small circular rivets. At its center, a dark, oval inlay is framed by fine engraved lines. To the left, mottled amber and dark brown tortoise shell teeth project outward, divided by a small gap into a long upper section and a shorter lower segment. This composition creates a striking contrast between metallic sheen and translucent patterns.
