Pin comb
Ornamental combs were a popular Samoan hair decoration until the 20th century. In addition to finely carved combs made of wood, combs made of coconut leaf ribs tied together were used. The bindings, which were often set with glass beads, consisted of very fine plant fibres or hair. Text: Ulrich Menter
