All auctions / Ancient Art / Ancient Roman Bone fragments of comb (No reserve price)
Traces of the past – two remarkable comb fragments These two fragments capture the imagination. The small circular decorations give the surface its own character and show how much attention was paid to the design of a personal grooming object. Who used this comb? Was it kept carefully, carried daily, or passed down within a family? That unknown history makes these fragments fascinating: tangible remnants that carry the imagination to the everyday life of the Roman world. The smaller fragment has a long, oval upper edge with partially preserved teeth. The longer fragment shows a slightly curved profile and a decorative side with circle and dot motifs. The reverse sides are simpler in execution. Material: Bone. Object: Two fragments of a comb. Condition: Good, in fragmentary state, with missing parts and superficial wear as visible in the photos. Dating: Late-Roman, 1st–4th Century AD
