A Byzantine quite ornate cast bronze hairpin discovered in northern Turkey (Anatolia) and dated ca. 350 AD. The decorations on the pin consist of horizontal lines, squares and diamonds. An attractive bird stands at the head of the pin and all details of decorations are quite clear. The pin is covered with an earthen encrustation over a green patina and the item is in excellent condition. This small antiquity was quite possibly used by a woman of means as poor women would have a pin made of bone or ivory and a wealthy lady would use a silver or gold pin. Whomever the owner, the item would have been a piece of personal value. Aside from being a piece of jewelry the pin could also have been used as a clothing fastener and/or a funerary object.
