A comb that represents a woman with her arms over her belly, a regular posture I gave the welcome and peace, which seems to represent an initiated young woman. Acquired in Abidjan in the mid-1960s. These combs could in some cases be used as prestigious combs, popular parties or family parties, but most of them were made for tourism and the great European colony resident at the time.
