Roman Empire, c. 100–200 AD

A superb matched pair of ancient Roman hair pins, beautifully cast in bronze. One features a smooth bulbous spherical head, while the other displays a thick decahedral head—both with elegantly tapering shafts ending in fine points.

Pins of this refined type were versatile personal accessories in antiquity, serving both as functional fasteners for garments and as decorative implements for securing elaborate hairstyles. The simplicity of form, combined with the subtle sheen of aged bronze, reflects the Roman appreciation for balance, proportion, and understated elegance in everyday adornment.

Excellent condition. Intact. Age-related wear. A fine green patina envelops in layers of mottled grayish hues. Size approx. 4,2cm x 0,7cm x 0,2cm and 3,1cm x 0,7cm x 0,2cm. Sell as a pair

Provenance: Dutch private collection
