Ancient Afro Combs.
The Afro comb serves as a status symbol in many African societies and has for centuries. In ancient society and in modern times, the handles of the combs are adorned with objects that artistically showcase a person’s status. These include hùman figure, motifs and pictures of elements in nature. Spiritual artwork is often depicted on Afro combs as well.
There are also archaeological burial records that indicate that some variation of the Afro comb has been around for thousands of years. Studies show that the comb originated in Africa before
re-emerging in the Americas and the Caribbean.
