Description
This remarkable ancient relic hails from the Luristan region and dates back to the era of 1200-800 BC. Crafted meticulously from bronze using the lost wax (cire perdue) technique, this cloak pin boasts a slender body adorned with three nodules above recessed ringlets. Its most captivating feature is a compressed spherical body, intricately incised to resemble a poppy plant, complete with delicate grooves. The pin is crowned with a spool-shaped cap, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of its time. These ornate fashion accessories were once used to fasten the garments of ancient individuals before the advent of fibulae (brooches). Measuring 7 x 3.5cm, this bronze cloak pin is not only a historical treasure but also a testament to the artistry and sophistication of the past.
