It was a lice comb so probably some sort of prayer/spell/whatever for it to work better. This particular one was ivory so it was for someone wealthy who possibly could have been able to read it. Poorer people would have used wooden combs.
- dmonitor 4y ago> probably some sort of prayer/spell/whatever for it to work better Or its like a shampoo bottle and it's written there because the carver felt like it.

- pessimizer 4y agoI imagine that a magician etching your comb with magic words (i.e. all written words 4K years ago) was like going for the extended warranty.
