Peignes-combs
Traditional wood carving represents a vital component of the cultural heritage and local craftsmanship (artisanat) in the Comoros Archipelago. Hand-carved wooden combs (peignes)—often fashioned from local hardwoods feature intricate geometric motifs, carved rosettes, and decorative handles. These functional art pieces historically held cultural significance, used both for daily hair care and as ornamental gifts during social ceremonies. Issued as part of a series celebrating local artisanal trades, this 15-franc postage stamp (POSTES) from the Comoros Archipelago showcases two carved wooden combs set against a green background, highlighting the island's rich tradition of decorative woodworking.
