Comb, Caerlaverock Castle

3D ModelNoAI

This double-sided birch wood comb from Caerlaverock Castle, Dumfries and Galloway, datesfrom the 1400s. The fine teeth were probably used for removing nits.

The spine has a heart motif and the letters ‘r o’ on one side, while the reverse reads ‘n o’, indicating it may have been made as a love token.
