This is a drawing of two decorative hair combs. The image features two representations of hair combs with intricate floral patterns, one in a more elaborate, detailed style and the other in a simple line drawing. The primary comb at the bottom is richly colored and shaded, showing a detailed floral design in red, yellow, and oranges, framed by a dark brown structure. Above it and to the right is a sketch of a similar comb, rendered faintly in pencil with a floral motif that mirrors the design of the colored comb.
