Roman bone pin head
Complete pin head carved in the shape of a female bust. The facial features are crudely picked out and the hair is represented by a series of grooves on the front side only. The reverse is polished but undecorated. The lower surface is perforated by a single hole, probably to take the stem of a pin.
