1806 Large Antique Indonesian Comb

Indonesian Comb made of bone

Large comb artistically carved in two tiers.

How many stylised birds can you find? I could see 8!

Note the armband, wrist band, earrings and pendants of the men.

Note the decorated section on the waist.

Fabulous work of art

Not sure whether this is Dayak art or Tanimbar art.

Likely early-mid 1900s
