Hairpin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two bronze hairpins with a green patina. The hairpins are placed on a white surface, with the one on the left having a three-leafed design at the top and the one on the right having a two-leafed design at the top. Both hairpins have long, thin shafts that taper to a point at the bottom. The hairpin on the left, titled "Hairpin", is by an unknown artist.
