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).
This delicious fungus was picked on several fallen oak trees in Essex, NY. The comb tooth mushroom (Hericium americanum) is known for it's great taste and known immune enhancing ability.
Sarkidionis melanotos
The strange knob on its bill is of unknown function, but probably involved in courtship since it shrinks after breeding season.
This is a sampling of the colors of combs but might not be a complete selection of colors. Most where the see through colors but the beauty salon came with one like the blue one on top.
This pretty comb is made from the remnants of a ruined Taisho Period (1911 - 1926) kimono and it sits on a little gold comb.

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.
Ukiyo-e image of a girl and her comb run through a dreamscape filter.
Google recently released software (source code so far, and so far as I can tell, running only on Linux without some changes) that uses AI to "understand" images then apply a set of pre-understood images to the first image, making for some really bizarre results (as you can see here). Today I found two program (one on Android and one on iOS) that appear to implement Google's algorithms for mobile (which means a really long processing time since the images are sent to servers, processed, then returned to the mobile device) so naturally enough I had to play around with the programs. Each program needs work but the results are pretty good (if low resolution).
One interesting thing about these images is when viewed as a thumbnail, the image looks "relatively" normal but when viewed full size, looks like something out of a nightmare.
We enjoyed seeing the Comb-crested Jacana or Lotus birds walking on the Lotus leaves on the South Alligator River, Kakadu.
The tour operator was very excited to see this interaction between a Jacana and a Water Dragon as it was the first time he had observed this behaviour.
The Water Dragon was hoping for a feed of eggs or chicks but the adult bird approached the Dragon with its wings wide spread and head down. It walked around for quite a while opening closing its wings while approaching the Dragon from different angles. The Dragon responded by opening its mouth at the bird until it moved away allowing the bird to sit on his eggs again.
