Combs are used to untangle, straighten, style, or shape hair, beards,
and moustaches. They may also be used to hold the hair in a fixed
style. Some combs are ornamental, worn in the hair as decorative
items. This large, elaborate comb from Borneo consists of a turtle-shell
comb mounted in silver. It was collected in the late nineteenth
century.
