Bone hairpin

Roman period

Roman bone hair needle o acus crinalis, a part of which depicts a naked female figure that is combing her hair, perhaps a Venus. The figure rests on a pedestal that separates the handle of the hair needle. The back of the figure is very little worked and it does not have much relief.
