CombThis small bone comb was found at Langbank Crannog in Renfrewshire. It was used to comb a beard or moustache, sometime between 0 and 200 AD. The single-edged comb was made from a single plate of bone. It was decorated with circles and a curvilinear design on one face only. Combs are known in Scotland from the last few centuries BC onwards. Small combs like this one were probably used for grooming facial hair. Larger combs, for head hair, were used not only as grooming tools but also for de-lousing. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
