Medieval headscarf pin with a polyhedron head.

Here you can buy a medieval headscarf pin with a polyhedron head and circlet motif after an Anglo-Saxon find from England.

This medieval headscarf pin with polyhedron head was made true to detail after an Anglo-Saxon find from the 8th to 10th century AD and has a so-called circle eye motif as decoration. Headscarf pins with polyhedron heads are very typical of Anglo-Saxon women's costume in the early Middle Ages and can be found in large numbers in the find material. They were used to fasten a headscarf or veil to the hair. The historical model for this medieval headscarf pin comes from a find from Staffordshire and is now in the possession of the Birmingham Museums Trust. The medieval headscarf pin is made of brass and, according to the historical find, is 6 cm long and 0.5 cm wide with a pin diameter of 1 mm.
