2nd-3rd century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £624

Acquired in the 1980s. Private collection, Switzerland, thence by descent. Private collection, since the late 1990s.
The pin seems to belong to the group 18 of the Cool's classification. The treatment of the figures in these pins varies greatly, including both the very 'Celtic' looking face on a pin from Cirencester and a Graeco-Roman figure type of Venus standing on a Corinthian capital from London. This great diversity of treatments clearly suggests that these pins were the occasional products of a wide variety of workshops. -
