This is a BRAND NEW one of a kind tsumami kanzashi decorative hair comb. Tsumami (folded flower) kanzashi are a type of Japanese hair ornament made of tiny squares of fabric. This piece was made from vintage kimono silk and fashioned in the form an cute little peony that's decorated with faux pearls and a chiffon ribbon. This piece is approximately 3" across and 2.5" from top to bottom.
Tsumami kanzashi are perfect for many special occasions - proms, weddings, formals, historical costumes and cosplay.
I make these hair ornaments with great care. If you are interested I also take custom orders. Please contact me if you would like to commission a kanzashi.

French, or possibly Italian, in the Brescian manner, 1575-1600.
"In the Brescian Manner" refers to the quantity, quality, and style of etching, common on armour made in Brescia, Italy. Helmets with particularly tall combs were fashionable in France.

Combs church wasn't open on the Wednesday that I visited. There was a phone number listed, but I was a bit pushed for time and was keen to get to Badley, which I hadn't visited before. So I had to make do. Combs sits on its own in fields south of Stowmarket. The church is quite large, and the setting is enjoyable, on a slight rise backed by trees. The tower is Decorated, as is the chancel. The rest of the church is Perpendicular.
82 nit combs were found on the Mary Rose, the most commonly found personal objects recovered! With the exception of one ivory one,they were all made of wood, mainly boxwood, with a single alder example.

The teeth of a man-size Kent's comb, with post-processing aimed to give it a filmic quality
G B Kent & Sons Ltd, manufacturers of brushes since the eighteenth century is one of the oldest established companies in Great Britain. Kent Brushes (as they are now more commonly known) was founded in 1777 by William Kent in the reign of George III. Kent holds a pre-eminent place in the history of brush making, with an unbroken record of excellence in the quality of its production which has been recognised by the granting of Royal Warrants for nine reigns.
The Kent family continued to run the company for six generations until 1932 when the last of the three Kent brothers passed away. This is when Mr Eric L.H Cosby, owner of Cosby Brushes Ltd, entered into an association with G.B Kent & Sons, and since that time the company has been under the creative and dynamic direction of the Cosby family.

Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.
