A peineta is a large female head ornament held to the hair by a row of teeth and usually worn under a mantilla, or lace covering the head. It is traditional in Spain and the rest of the Hispanic world. [1] The hair ornament, worn by women, consists of a convex body and a set of teeth that affix it to hair worn in a bun.
