Chinese Silver And Tortoiseshell Hair Comb

In China, physical adornment with silver is important for women of all ages. Pictures below show a very unique and interesting piece of Chinese silver and tortoiseshell comb. This type of hair comb would be used for special occasions and ceremonies and is rarely seen anymore. The silver part of the comb is incised with bamboo design.

Size : 8.5cm x 3.5cm.
