Comb and make up palette

Comb and make up palette

‎The central field of this ivory comb that was found in Megiddo is decorated with a lion. The comb dates back to the 13th-11th century BCE. The make-up palette from Megiddo is made of limestone, and is a bit younger (9th-6th century BCE). The make-up was mashed and mixed in the hollow, so that it could be applied with a stick. Both utensils belong to the equipment of the upper class.
‎2 Kings 9:30; Jer 4:30; Ezek 23:40; Wisd of Sol 13:14
