Title : Museum Quality Roman Bone Hairpin w/Horse   

Ca. 100 BC - 100 AD
Description: Here we have a fabulous and rare Roman bone hairpin with horse terminal. A lovely and excellent example with an openwork terminal at the top of the tapering pin featuring a horse, with his head turned back, possibly biting the hide on his back, his legs bent as if kneeling or laying down. The hairpin has a "priceless" smooth, dark patina, probably from much use combines with perfumed oils in the hair, making the pin take on a look almost like petrified wood or agate. We have handled many Roman bone hairpins over the years, but this is by far the very best we have seen, and would obviously have belonged to a lady of the elite upper class in antiquity. This wonderful, museum quality Roman bone hairpin would make a fine addition to any collection. Superb!
