Romeinse dolfijnkam, 1e-3e eeuw, brons Middeleeuwse overkleden & wapenrokken During the era that spearsThis comb shows in relief two dolphins with upward pointing tails, which together form the handle. The design is based on a Roman find dating between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD.

A graceful comb for those who want to portray Roman culture.
