Well done to everyone - these are great guesses. The artefact is a comb and a comb case to protect the teeth. It is made from bone joined together with iron rivets. The two small holes on the end would have been used to hang the comb from a belt and the little hole on the body of the comb was for a bone peg that kept the comb shut. Combs like this tell us that the Vikings cared about how they look. Miss Pirie

This is probably a comb with a case. I suppose the holes are for hanging and maybe even a hinge.

I think that it is a comb with a cover. It is made of bone and the holes are for string to hang it up with.

I think it is a comb with a case, made out of bone. I think the little holes are so it is able to be hung up.

I think that it is a comb made out of bone and that the holes are for hanging it on the ladies belt. I think the other thing is a cover for it.
