Ancient Western Asiatic bronze openwork hair pin
A magnificent Western Asiatic bronze openwork hairpin. Decorated with very fine openwork style, large round disc shaped head with what appears to be a small elephant figure. Some small chips around the outer disc, otherwise intact with no restoration and in as found condition.

Dating to circa 1000BC.

Measures 20cm height, 6.2cm diameter of disc / 21.5cm height on display stand.

Ex-private West Australian collection.

Numerous similar hairpins constructed from metals other than bronze have recently appeared on the market, as you can see by the photos our bronze pins are the genuine type.
