Two finely crafted bone combs from the early 6th century AD, found in a grave at Dittigheim. To protect their delicate tines, they were carefully kept in a custom-made case. In the Early Middle Ages, long, well-groomed hair was more than a fashion choice, it was a symbol of status and identity.

On display at Landesmuseum Württemberg.
