Dear Alice,<br>
of course you can use them. Maybe I have also some color photo of them, but I can not send it before next week, since I will be away until Sunday.<br>

> Hello, I send some pictures of Estonian miniature combs. To my opinion these (from Estonia and northwest Russia) are at first pendants, having some symbolic meaning. I suppose all of them were not used for combing at all. But some of them were, e.g. pendant from Pada with use wear on its teeth.<br>
> About wear on the comb teeth, I suppose that long hair will leave more traces on the comb. As an "experiment" (not very seriously, but just for fun) I add a picture of comb teeth with wear traces. It is not a bone comb, but plastic one (actually my own). It has been used about 8-9 years, I have all this time had a hair about until shoulders or a little longer. It has quite clear wear on the base of teeth. As a comparison I can say that my husband's comb (he has short hair) does not have such wear, but my son’s (who has hair longer than me), also has similar use wear at the base of teeth.<br>

Arthur Macgregor’s 1985 account (p.78) predates the discovery of several of the small combs in this museum, and I think the overall interpretation may be different now.<br>

<div class="im">> Subject: Re: [Bonetools] bone tool of the month Hi Alice, Many apologies, here is a comb that is interesting me at the moment. It is from the broch at Howe in Stromness, and is described as ‘found in ditch deposits’ dating to the early centuries AD (Ballin Smith (ed) 1994, 177). This is one of three single-sided one-piece combs in the Orkney Museum (as distinct from miniatures), but this one has a very very close parallel from Kettleburn in Caithness, and I’m wondering how many more there may be.<br>
> If anyone is interested, the full excavation report for Howe is available online thanks to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland <a href="http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/library/psas/monograph09.cfm" target="_blank">http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/library/psas/monograph09.cfm</a> , and the comb’s catalogue number is HH 4907.<br>
