This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century - a Russian comb made entirely of walrus bone. Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, this ornate piece is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of its time. The intricate engravings on the comb depict an elegant eagle motif, symbolizing power and strength. Each stroke of the engraver's tool brings life to this majestic bird, capturing its grace and majesty in every line. As we gaze upon this centuries-old treasure, we are transported back in time to imperial Russia. The comb's delicate beauty hints at the opulence and grandeur that characterized 17th-century Russian society. Its material choice adds another layer of fascination – walrus bone – showcasing not only the resourcefulness but also the exotic nature of materials used during this era. This photograph is part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, which seeks to preserve historical artifacts for future generations. It serves as a reminder that even everyday objects can hold immense cultural significance and offer glimpses into bygone eras. Whether displayed as an artistic centerpiece or admired for its historical value, this Russian comb invites us to appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and rich history.
