Woodent Hair Comb Depicting Water Buffalo
This wooden hair comb was collected from the Democratic Republic of the Congo when the country was known as Zaire (1971-1997). The body of the comb rises into a carving of the face of a water buffalo, with its characteristic horns and hanging ears. One side has been written on in sharpie over a glued on piece of velcro, as this was once in a shadowbox made by the collector.
