various African combs

here are the two Afar combs on top (light coloured Wood, Ethiopia), which Ingrid mentioned on a comment, the dark one below is the Mursi or Hamer comb (dark Wood and copper, also Ethiopia) and the two at left the Karamajong metal combs (Northern Uganda). Just felt like taking a picture adding the two Afar combs. Also have a Kenyan Wood comb, but it did not fit into the picture.
