[Bonetools] Medieval Italian comb

[François Poplin]

That kind of object is usually, basically made of antler, as it seems 
here (but I don't like to give advices on photographs). I'll search 
bibliography soon. And the main reason for me to answer is provided by 
the attacks of the saws (they where two) on the supplementary bar. I'll 
tell you that very reason. It deals with a certain link between the 
teeth of the saw and the teeth of the comb.
