<p>[QUOTE="Toba, post: 426862, member: 9023"]Hi. I haven't posted in this forum yet. I've posted SE Asian beads and a bracelet I collected a few years back. These are combs from the island of Tanimbar in South Maluku, Indonesia - due north of Darwin, Australia. I visited in 1991 and had a Moon guidebook which mentioned a village near the main town of Saumlaki there that was famous for carving combs. Trouble was, there were no combs being sold when I got there, but I met a man who said he could carve me three. These are the cheeky results. I think he got a good laugh out of it, but they are definitely unique. [ATTACH=full]149391[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]149392[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
