For which historical periods is this replica bone comb authentic, and is it suitable for grooming both head hair and beard?

This replica of a medieval bone comb is authentic to historical periods such as Roman times, the Germanic period, the Early Middle Ages, and the Viking Age. Thanks to its robust, handcrafted teeth, it is suitable for daily hair care and also ideal as a beard comb.
How should a medieval bone comb be cleaned and cared for to permanently preserve the organic material and avoid cracks?

To ensure the longevity of your medieval bone comb made of organic material and prevent cracking, it should be cared for as follows: - Cleaning: Clean the comb as needed under lukewarm, running water with a mild soap. A soft brush can help loosen deposits at the base of the teeth.

- Avoid soaking: Never leave the comb in water or soak it, as this can damage the material.

- Drying: After cleaning, immediately place the comb tooth-down on a towel and allow it to air dry.

- Maintenance: The material should be rubbed with a little oil (e.g., olive oil or bone care oil) or excess body lotion about once or twice a year to keep it supple and prevent drying out and cracking.
What significance did bone combs like this one have in the Viking Age beyond mere personal hygiene, and how is this historical relevance evidenced by archaeological grave goods?

In the Viking Age, bone combs were far more than mere grooming tools; they were status symbols and signs of cleanliness and a well-groomed appearance, which the Norsemen valued highly. This historical significance is evidenced by the frequent discovery of combs as grave goods in archaeological excavations, where they were placed with the deceased to provide them with essential everyday items in the afterlife. Often visibly attached to clothing or belts with loops or straps, they were worn on the body, underscoring their importance as personal accessories.
