Hi Janice and all,
The comb is part of formal dressing related with religious ceremonies,
and or regional costumes (Valencia and Andalusia), and helps to stylize
the figure of the Spanish women when wearing mantillas. At the same time
helps to fix the proper mantilla too. The woman chooses the height of
the comb according with her own height or that of his partner if she is
accompanied.
I have found some links to pictures showing Spanish women of different
periods, wearing mantillas in a different ways.

Very dramatic mantilla. Where did the idea to make the comb so high come
from? Was it show you could show off the lace to advantage or was it to gain
height if you were on the small side? :-)
