We had this horn comb made to use at reenactments or at home. The comb is made of domestic cattle horn. The comb measures 5" long & 1 3/4" wide. The color of the comb will vary due to the fact that different breeds of cattle have different color of horns. The comb can be used for men or women. This is another great little item to put in your haversack to improve your 18th century persona.
