This next presentation is courtesy of a great friend and fellow archaeologist Kalliope Sarri.
Kalliope was very kind to share this extremely interesting set of photographs of a hair salon in Athens. It is called Men-andros appropriately focused on grooming men and children's hair.
Not only does the owner play with a linguistic concept: Men > Andros (meaning 'of a man' in Greek) > Menandros, but he decorated the front window of the salon with a small Kouros on a column.
There is another intriguing archaic element involved and that is the salon's symbol. It is depicted on the shop's door sign and also on a small poster mentioning the working hours of the salon. It is a gold (or gilded) comb with a small horse on it. I can't identify the artefact so, should you know what's depicted, please let me know.
Enjoy!

YOU'RE AMAZING! WELL DONE!
Thank you. Unfortunately I could find no archaeological references to the Celtic comb. Now it's your turn! :-)
I've had great trouble myself. Nothing on the tomb yet.
