"In a Gnamboya village, a young woman gave birth to twins for her first time. She came to the king who blessed her. So this comb was made to celebrate her fertlity. Then, all the women who had not yet given birth prostrated themselves before this sacred object to get a chance to have twins and be valorized as well". Donation and information by Abilou Mjomkwet.
