Description
This elegant bronze hair pin from the Greco-Roman period, dated to between the 1st century BCE and the 1st century CE, is a fine example of personal adornment from antiquity. The pin, extending 13cm in length and adorned with a 2.5cm flower-patterned top, would have been a luxury item in its time, likely owned by a woman of status and wealth. The craftsmanship of the rosette-like top reflects the fusion of Greek and Roman aesthetic sensibilities, with its symmetrical design and decorative appeal. Such items were not only functional but also served as a status symbol, representing the wearer's social standing and adherence to the fashion of the time.
