EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating artifact from the 9th century - a Comb and trial-piece made from intricately carved bone and antler. The level of detail in this piece is truly remarkable, highlighting the craftsmanship of the Viking era. The comb itself is a practical tool for grooming hair, while the trial-piece adds an element of mystery to this ancient relic. It's incredible to think about how these items were used over a thousand years ago, giving us a glimpse into daily life during that time period. The combination of bone and antler in this piece speaks to the resourcefulness of the Vikings, who utilized natural materials to create functional objects with artistic flair. The carving on both pieces demonstrates skill and precision, showcasing the talent of artisans from centuries past. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where combs were not just tools for grooming but also symbols of status and beauty. This print serves as a reminder of our connection to history and the enduring legacy of ancient civilizations like the Vikings.
