Description: | A copper alloy pin with the head in the form of a human head and upper torso. The face has somewhat triangular eyes, a straight nose and a simple line for the mouth. The hairstyle consists of a finely incised plait which encircles the head. From the back of the head protrudes a curved crest with a plait along it and a circular hole through it. A line runs around the neck and one wrist of the figure, possibly signifying jewellery. Ring and dot has been used to signify breasts and the figure stands with one hand on its hip and the other on the stomach. The body ends with an incised band of diagonal lines. Below the figure is a circular baluster before the pin shaft. These are decorated with incised lines which, like the bottom border, do not appear on the back of the pin. The pin shaft is square sectioned.
