Songye comb
Traditional wooden comb with a small copper wire wrapped around the neck of the double head which overcomes the anthropomorphic handle. Beautiful sculptural quality for this everyday object used to hold the headdress in place.
In many African ethnic groups we find this type of art object as part of the necessary to be presentable.
