Faux Tortoiseshell Mantilla Comb 
                          Ref: MA-0208-004  
                          This handsome vintage  Spanish mantilla comb or peinita can be worn with a lace  mantilla veil to produce an authentic effect, as seen on the mannequin.  
                          It is  made from celluloid faux tortoiseshell and probably dates from the mid 20th  century. The rounded heading has an attractive scalloped profile.  
                          The design is  an unusual one depicting a pair of flamenco dancers, placed against a lattice background.  
                          For more information on mantilla  combs see my two guides in the ARTICLES section.
