The upper part ( on the picture) has exceedingly tight tines.
This is what usually used on de-licing combs. More precisely, for removing nits attached to hairs.
The lower part is just for regular combing.

Lice were epidemic in old times, and French Royals carried little ivory sticks to scratch their wigged heads. Even now one has to delice kids coming home from school camps
These little buggers are likely to outlive us after the nuclear Apocalypse. Mad Max has nothing on them :-)))
