Pins made of non-ferrous heavy metal

Coiffures were also arranged with ribbons and bronze pins. Pins with geometric designs were popular, such as this pin with a polyhedron-shaped knob.

The pins were made of non-ferrous heavy metal and filed, smoothed, and polished. Model forms show that although they were produced in the area, they followed a fashion that was popular far beyond their locality.
