I can’t believe we’re still doing antelopes on combs in the year 868 CE.
This comb is, as far as I can tell, from Thebes, and dated to 868/905 common era. The addition of the bird is new, and the antelope has become very stylized, but the earliest example of this theme, of the ungulate on the comb, dates back to possibly as far as 3800 BCE; Egyptian combs appear to have featured artwork of antelopes for, as of this comb, over 4,500 years. I think it’s some kind of pun but I can’t begin to know how to research that.
In this earlier post, I showed two combs separated by two thousand years, the same distance of time that separates us from Julius Caesar. This comb is over two thousand years later than the newer of those two combs, and human history is so relatively recent that it’s hard to offer a scale. We don’t really have a way to indicate a span of four thousand years, but to put it in context, the oldest written religious text we know of is only about 3200 years old.
[ID: An image of a double-sided wooden comb, with a fine-tooth side and a wide-tooth side; in the middle, where a person would hold the comb, is an engraving of a bird with a vulture-like beak, which seems to be attacking an extremely stylized antelope, with long spindly legs, enormous horns, and an almost rabbit-like head.]

”(...) at a century’s distance, each became known as her time’s great beauty. Like Mérode, Récamier embodied Tinan’s ideal of the national beauty, and exerted similar control over her images, fashioning and promoting through them a persona that blended innocence and seduction.”
