Seller's Note/ Birds on hair pins was a common but popular motif for Roman ladies. Our example features a cockerel/rooster, coxcomb and all. Awe...how charming!

Our complete hair pin is extremely rare as nearly all were plow-broken after 1700 years in the ground. You may never see another one, especially at our low price, trust me.
