Dating likely from the Taisho to early Showa era, the comb showcases the sophisticated Maki-e technique, with hand-painted floral and fan motifs rendered in rich reds and metallic golds. The design is further elevated by intricate iridescent inlays that provide a mesmerizing, multi-colored shimmer against the textured, cream-colored lacquer frame. A striking contrast to the decorative top, the dark, fine-toothed comb remains intact, making this a functional accessory for a kimono or a high-value addition to a collection of Japanese lacquerware.
