    comb. Top edge is rounded. Frame is curved transversely. One side is partly cut away forming a rounded knob within which a design is present with two projections on the upper edge, and a notch on the side. There are four perforations making up the design, which is more complex on the concave side of the frame. The design on this side uses incised lines to accentuate the circular perforations, possibly intended to accentuate the likeness to a human face.
