hairpins

Bone hair pin with a rounded, ball-like top. Under the top there are six incised lines filled in with black pigment. Lines are running parallel around the diameter. Some of the black pigment has fallen out. The pin widens towards the centre and narrows down towards the tip. The top is slightly chipped.
