Pins
This category includes straight objects used for fastening cloth.
Pins are straight pieces of metal with a pointed end. Woolley lists 8 types of pins based on their style. Woolley's type 1 are straight pins, pierced or unpierced with a ball head of material other than metal. Woolley's type 2 has a knobby head of metal. Type 3 is a pin with a domed head of metal. Type 4 has a rolled head. Type 5 has a flattened and rolled head to hold feathers, and is listed as a hairpin in our typology. Type 6 has anthro/zoomorphic figures on the head. Type 7 has a bent head sometimes with stone beads at the end. Type 8 has a rounded head. Pierced pins may have been used to hang toggles or cylinder seals. Pins are mixed between style and period.
