    Description

    Welcome.
    I'm offering for your consideration a rare example of a Santo Domingo, Kewa, hair ornament comb. I've never seen any like it! The inlay seems to be covered with plastic and I didn't try to remove it. The teeth seem to be celluloid though I am not an expert on that. The condition is excellent vintage, wearable and collectible. It's a great collector's piece. It measures 3/8" for the inlay height and 3-1/8" wide. The entire comb measures 3-1/8" wide x 1-7/8" high. It weighs 9.6grams. It is of course, unsigned, as was usually the case.
    This is a great one, a unique example, very suitable to wear (the teeth seem to hold well for me and I have very fine hair) and suitable for the best collection. Yes, it's also museum worthy. I think you'll always enjoy this piece as I do. I have other hair ornaments listed and others coming. There's nothing like this one!

    Attributions on many of the old pieces of Native American jewelry are sometimes a moving target.

I am sincerely committed to ongoing accuracy.
