Mantilla and Hair Comb of a Bucaramanga Lady

This elegant wooden peineta (decorative hair comb) and mantilla (lace veil over the head and shoulders) belonged to a woman who accompanied Simón Bolívar during his time in Bucaramanga. Such accessories reflected social rank and fashion among elite women in the 19th c., preserving a personal link to Colombia’s independence era.
