Comb made of flexible wood which is split vertically near the end to form nine prongs which are held apart by its binding. The handle is rectangular in shape, flaring out into the prongs of the comb. Where the handle and prongs meet there is a band of braided string wrapped around the handle. There is also one strand of plant fibre wrapped around the handle between the wood and the prongs. The end of the handle is rounded.
From the collection of Sister Twyford or Miss J. Pearce (Australia), who had served as missionaries in the Trobriand Islands in the 1920s and Dobu Island in the 1930s.
