There are currently no images available.

Hairpin with a complicated head. The upper element is an onion-shaped knob, with a little point at the top and a ridge around the base. Below is a little waist, and then a small square-section element with two nicks cut into each corner. Below, the section changes to circular, and tapers into the shaft. The shaft is bent just above the old break; the bend does not appear to have caused any stress to the metal. Overall length 40 mm.
