Pin, unknown Luristan workshop. A long pin terminating in a head in the form of an oval shield with geometric decoration. The shaft, circular in cross-section, thickens and widens rhomboidally at the top to form a connector to the shield, which is decorated on one side with punching and engraving. Ornamentation on the shield is arranged concentrically: central round knob with two intersecting engraved bands filled with fine dots; three convex concentric stripes central stripe incised; interwoven braids with dotted interiors in the spaces between stripes; a row of larger dots between the first stripe and the boss; the edge band decorated with a single row of convex dots. The decorative sequence is interrupted at the lower part of the shield where it connects to the pin: on a short section of the edge band the convex dots are replaced by dots, and diagonal incisions appear on the third strip. Engraved geometric ornament also appears on the upper part of the rhomboid connector.
