After Akhenaten's reign, his monuments and statuary were systematically smashed. As a result, most evidence of the Amarna period's sculptural and architectural output survives only in fragments (for examples of stone fragments from statues and other objects recovered from Akhenaten's capital city, Akhetaten, see Seyfried, F. (ed.), In the Light of Amarna: 100 Years of the Nefertiti Discovery, Berlin, 2012, pp. 164-169; 230-231; 390-391).

Ex Carl Leonhard Burckhardt-Reinhard (1902-1965), formed since 1922, Egypt. Inherited by his son Christopher Burckhardt in 1966, Switzerland. Since then in the possession of his wife, Switzerland.
The type is attested in Egypt, where it is particularly well documented in the Coptic Period. The lack of decoration makes a more precise chronological classification difficult. As evidenced by a wooden comb of the same type from Antinoë, the fine-toothed side was also used for removing head lice. In the present example, the comb continued on one side for an indeterminate length. -
