Prehistoric Bone Weaving Comb, Kilmartin Museum, Kilmartin Glen, Argyll, Scotland
The tool, which may have been worn as an amulet, is evidence of a culture that revered the human head.
Interesting find. Lots of speculation about it.
Comb replica based on a piece from Gotland. Fully handmade in bone and reindeer horn. Its very difficult to make thin teeths.

My First Attempt At Making A Bone Comb. It’s Blank As Of This Time, But I Do Hope To At Least Scrimshaw Some Knotwork Into One Side If Not Both.
