Hairpin

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Hairpin by Unknown Artist is a long, thin, tapered object with a pointed tip. The object is made of a light-colored material, possibly bone or ivory. A small, rounded head with a face is at the top. The face has a serene expression with closed eyes. Below the head is a small cylindrical section. The long, thin section is mostly smooth with some darker spots or marks. The background is a solid gray color.
