Roman Empire, c. 100–200 AD
A delicate ancient Roman hair pin cast in bronze, featuring a large bulbous spherical head and a straight, tapering shaft terminating in a finely pointed tip. Pins of this elegant type were used in antiquity both as practical fasteners for garments and as personal ornaments for securing elaborate hairstyles. The smooth, balanced form and lustrous bronze surface reflect the refined craftsmanship and understated aesthetic of Roman personal adornment during the Imperial period.
Excellent condition. Intact. Age-related wear. A fine green patina envelops in layers of mottled grayish hues. Size approx. 6,7cm x 0,8cm x 0,2cm.
Provenance: Dutch private collection
