English: This comb depicts typical pastimes of wealthy nobles. On one side, couples dance in a garden as a seated lady plays a portable organ. The other side depicts hunters, their hunting dogs, and a deer that has been trapped. Traces of the original paint on the trees and costumes and the gilding on the hair of the figures are preserved.
