The large rectangular comb was used for weaving. It has teeth and a long handle, decorated with four double lines, dividing it into four parts.

The outer part is empty, and the three other parts contain ornaments representing two intertwined circles, in the center of which is a notched dot. On the body of the comb, small circles are engraved of the same kind, forming a zigzag shape.
