"From Art Nouveau to Cultural Traditions: The Timeless Symbolism of the Comb" Step into the world of beauty and cultural significance as we explore the captivating history behind the humble comb. In La Maison Moderne c. 1902, a stunning poster by Manuel Orazi, we witness the intricate design and elegance that this everyday object can possess. Moving back in time, Edgar Degas' masterpiece "Woman Combing Her Hair" from 1886 captures a moment of intimacy and femininity as a woman tends to her locks with care. Meanwhile, in Djibouti, a man prepares his hair for his wedding day, highlighting how combs have played an essential role in rituals across different cultures. Venturing further into diverse traditions, we encounter domestic chickens of Nagasaki breed and their meticulous grooming habits. These feathered creatures remind us that even animals appreciate the importance of maintaining their appearance. The journey continues through tropical rainforests in North Queensland where the magnificent Double-wattled Cassowary resides. This majestic bird's striking appearance is enhanced by its vibrant plumage which it meticulously arranges using its beak – nature's own version of a comb. Traveling to Sekondi on Africa's Gold Coast, we witness Fante ladies having their hair dressed with precision. This ritual not only serves aesthetic purposes but also holds deep cultural significance within their community. As our exploration takes flight towards roosters like Gulliver in Lilliput or Maran Cockerel turning its head gracefully, we realize that they are not limited to human use alone; they extend to our animal counterparts too. Returning to artistry once more, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "Madame Poupoule at her Toilette" transports us back to Parisian glamour while Edgar Degas' "Woman at her Toilette" depicts another private moment where personal grooming becomes an act of self-care.
