Gaziantep Wooden Mother of Pearl Inlay Hair Comb

Hair comb production, with a history spanning centuries, has evolved to serve both hair care and functions as a health tool and decorative item. In the Gaziantep region, mother-of-pearl inlay combs have been produced for centuries. It is a tradition to include a mother-of-pearl comb and mirror in a girl's dowry. According to a tradition dating back to the Ottoman era, gifting a mirror and comb to brides carries the meaning ""I couldn't find a gift more beautiful than you."
