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.

This is one piece from a series of illustrations representing the dynastic combs of the 5 sovereign birds; Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, Zhou.
This particular comb represents Tang, a strict and militant commander.
The colouring is reminiscent of the Rooster (Gallus gallus).

The strange knob on its bill is of unknown function, but probably involved in courtship since it shrinks after breeding season.
Yorùbá people believe that a person’s destiny is determined by their Orí (head).
“Ori is not a divinity. The Ori is what holds an individual destiny. The Ori is in control of one’s daily ups and downs. Ori could be considered as personal god or guardian angel who will accompany each of us for life. Even the gods have their Ori which directs their personal lives. Ori is human consciousness.”- Iyalorisa Omitonade Ifawemimo (priestess and role model to young Yorùbá girls).
Although some Yorùbá people use straightening chemicals and weaves, many people still do use natural soaps, oils, butters and wooden combs. Some combs are elaborately carved or decorated, but this one is simple, with the word ‘love’ written on it. What do you use to treat or style your hair?

Liturgical combs were decorated combs, usually of ivory or bone, used in preparing the priest for the Mass. The ritual combing of priests' hair may have begun when Christianity became the Roman state religion early in the 4th century AD. They were still being made in the 12th century; and references to their use appear in ecclesiastical rituals until the 16th century.

Best known as Brunt (Ferengi) and Weyoun (Vorta) on Deep Space 9, and Shran (Andorian) on Enterprise but also played a ton of different roles. See memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Jeffrey_Combs for a complete list. He's also hysterical and extremely nice.
