Kewa Santo Domingo Hair Ornament Comb w Coral and Turquoise w Celluloid? Teeth

Description

Welcome.
I'm offering for your consideration a rare example of a Santo Domingo, Kewa, hair ornament comb. I've never seen any like it! The inlay seems to be covered with plastic and I didn't try to remove it. The teeth seem to be celluloid though I am not an expert on that. The condition is excellent vintage, wearable and collectible. It's a great collector's piece. It measures 3/8" for the inlay height and 3-1/8" wide. The entire comb measures 3-1/8" wide x 1-7/8" high. It weighs 9.6grams. It is of course, unsigned, as was usually the case.
This is a great one, a unique example, very suitable to wear (the teeth seem to hold well for me and I have very fine hair) and suitable for the best collection. Yes, it's also museum worthy. I think you'll always enjoy this piece as I do. I have other hair ornaments listed and others coming. There's nothing like this one!

When I include pages from published books in my listings it is in accordance with Fair Use Law, which permits the use of source material for discussion, reference, education and criticism.
Attributions on many of the old pieces of Native American jewelry are sometimes a moving target. All the books have errors, so in addition to counterchecking, I have developed some expertise over the years and I do care about getting it right, so as more information comes to light I update my listings and also get in touch with my previous buyers, to inform them of any changes in attributions. I am sincerely committed to ongoing accuracy.
