What does the word "vanished" mean in this sentence?
"Beautiful combs, pure tortoise-shell, with jewelled rims - just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair"
Is it used here as a synonym " disappeared"? Thanks in advance for your explanation!

Are you sure the word is "vanished"? It makes no sense here, as it does mean "disappeared".
