It was made in 1685 in Port Royal, Jamaica, which was then Britains wealthiest colony. It is a rather poignant expression of a painful cultural moment. Bought with wealth generated by enslaved Africans, it embodies the English appreciation of Jamaicas glorious natural history and the simultaneous savaging of it. At once precious and humble, it reflects the resourcefulness of local merchants who devised a product that was portable, inscribable, and at least somewhat useful (a wig comb in two sizes, one for the wig the other for lice)..
