“Pinse” is the description of the pins in the exhibit

All through the periods mainly two materials were used for this purpose, at first bones and later bronze. Pins were made by moulding, hammering-forging and wire twisting techniques.

There are pins with hollow shafts and casting-mold heads. Pin-heads show variations ranging from conical, pyramidal, double spiral heads to those in the shape of hooks, rings, knobs and bid heads.They could also be arranged in floral and such patterns. The great majority of them are dress and hair pins. These pins have been discovered in the cemeteries as well as in the settlement areas. We presume that the bigger and heavier pins were for fastening clothes and the smaller ones were used to hold the hair in place. Besides, they were left in the temples as amulets and offerings.

Alongside the use of bands to close the eyes and mouth of the corpse in accordance with the religious belief, there are also examples of gold and gold plated plugs which date back to 3000 B.C.
