For that specific green enhanced version of the lilypad hair combs I was only getting RU sites, but finally found some other images and sources!

They have a cool backside as well looks like!!

And an artbook page had a very blurry “driehaus” so I went digging further

Driehaus bought the clips from Tadema Gallery (combs featured here)

And the “horn and moonstone” combs were featured in a jewelry exhibition at the museum in Chicago and on tour!
