hair comb with dolphin motif 1st 2nd century bronze Vikingmantels from northwest EuropeIn Roman thought, beauty represented cosmic order, while ugliness represented chaos hence the word "cosmetics." Both the Greeks and Romans were known for their grooming culture, and combs like these were often luxuriously decorated: not only practical for grooming hair, but also a way to show one's wealth. This item with a dolphin motif can also be worn on a leather cord. Performed in bronze, with dimensions of 4. 5 x 6 cm and 14 teeth.
