This antique comb is decorated with a Greek "meander". The Greek meander (Maiandros) is a motif that has existed since ancient Greece, and can be found on temples, vases, carpets or jewellery from that period, but also on neo-classical productions from the first Empire, at the beginning of the 19th century, such as this tiara.
The repetition of a meander forms a frieze known as the Greek Key, which symbolises infinity because of its repetition.
