The Amazigh Comb: Symbol of Creativity, Fertility & Identity
In Amazigh tradition, the comb was not just a tool — it was a symbol.
Carved into jewelry, carpets, and pottery, the Amazigh comb represented fertility, creativity, and the continuity of life.
The comb as a sacred sign
The weaving comb was one of the most ancient symbols of the Atlas. It embodied the feminine power of creation, associated with fertility and the cycles of nature. In textiles, it was often repeated as a motif of protection and renewal.
From object to ornament
Beyond its practical use for hair care, the comb became an ornament, engraved into silver jewelry or drawn onto carpets and fabrics. It was a totemic sign, reminding women of their role as guardians of life and beauty.
Ancestral wisdom alive today
The symbolism of the Amazigh comb survives in artisanal crafts of the Atlas. Its presence recalls that beauty has always been more than appearance — it is a matter of identity, heritage, and connection to the sacred.
