Faux Tortoiseshell Mantilla Comb
Ref: MA-0208-004
This handsome vintage Spanish mantilla comb or peinita can be worn with a lace mantilla veil to produce an authentic effect, as seen on the mannequin.
It is made from celluloid faux tortoiseshell and probably dates from the mid 20th century. The rounded heading has an attractive scalloped profile.
The design is an unusual one depicting a pair of flamenco dancers, placed against a lattice background.
