<p>Dear Marta,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The broken section of the connecting plate of this comb shows that the material is antler.</p>

<p>Dear all,<br>
I am currently studying the bone assemblage recovered from the Duomo of Padova (Italy) dated to the early and high Middle Ages. An Italian student is working with the worked bone material, among which there is this comb (see attached photographs) that comes from the cleaning layer. First of all, I would like to ask for your expertise in order to identify the material it is made of and secondly, I would appreciate very much any comments you would like to make on its typology. If you send some bibliography we can read, it would be great!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Marta</p>
