Egyptian Head Design Side Comb

Ref: VT-0905-003

This is an interesting example of a personal ornament inspired by a blockbuster movie. In 1965 the film Cleopatra starring was one of the most expensive and controversial ever made. Starring the then still young and beautiful Elizabeth Taylor as the siren of the Nile it inspired a widespread fashion for hairdressing and jewellery in the Egyptian style. This little side comb is made entirely in antiqued metal and features the head of a pharaoh presented amid a background of flowers.

The final picture is taken from a contemporary movie still and shows a montage of images of the star in her exotic and colourful costumes.

Size: 1½ x 2½ ins (approx 4 x 6 cms)
