Handmade Bone Hairpin, 14 cm
A Tool and a Jewel in One
Pins made of bone, antler, or wood are among the most common archaeological finds of personal items. They were used not only for styling and securing hairstyles but also as clothing fasteners or even as tools. Their design often varied by region and the social status of the owner. This piece, with its fine ring carvings on the head, is an example of simple yet tasteful elegance that never goes out of style.
The head of the pin features a hole through which a string or cord can be threaded. In the past, this could have been used to hang beads or other ornaments, or as a safety feature to prevent loss.
A Tidbit from History:
A dark tale from Roman history illustrates just how versatile a hairpin could be. It is said that Fulvia, the wife of Mark Antony, after the death of the famous orator Cicero (their political opponent), pierced his dead tongue with her hairpin as an act of revenge for the speeches he had made against her husband.
How to Use the Pin?
Using it is simple. Twist your hair into a tight bun or knot. Then, push the pin through the edge of the bun, along your scalp, and then through the opposite edge of the bun. This will secure the hairstyle firmly. Experiment with different angles and weaving techniques to achieve the best hold and look.
