This authentic ceremonial comb from West Africa is a striking example of traditional tribal craftsmanship. Hand-carved from dark wood, the comb features a functional set of teeth at its base, leading upwards to an elaborately decorated shaft. The central section is adorned with three captivating oval motifs, meticulously covered in pristine orange beads, creating a striking visual contrast against the dark wood. The comb is crowned with a finely carved, stylized anthropomorphic head, further embellished with small metallic studs, suggesting ancestral presence or symbolic significance. A thin natural fiber wrapping is also present near the top. Such combs were not merely hair implements but served as important personal adornments, status symbols, or ritual objects within traditional societies like those of the Lobi people. This piece exemplifies the rich cultural heritage and intricate craftsmanship of the region.
