This gilt silver comb, though weathered by age, retains much of its original elegance. The back of the comb is adorned with repoussé floral and bird motifs, where the birds appear lively and the blossoms lush, symbolizing prosperity, harmony, and longevity. The gilded details shine faintly amidst the patina of time, while the silver surface bears natural oxidation that highlights its antiquity. Although some of the comb teeth are missing, the overall structure and craftsmanship remain clear, reflecting the refined artistry and aesthetics of its era. Beyond its functional role as a hair ornament, this piece stands as a cultural relic, offering both historical significance and collectible value.
