Pin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Greenish metal pin with a large, wide head and long, thin shaft. The head is shaped like a kite with one pointed end tapering to a small nub. The other end of the head is rounded with two small protrusions on either side. The shaft is rectangular and flat with rounded edges. A small ball separates the head from the shaft. The metal is heavily corroded and has a rough texture.
