Burial customs and grave goods were of great importance across Bronze Age Europe. The most impressive and interesting Bronze Age items have been found in many graves, as the Bronze Age saw a rise in individual graves which were filled with precious items. Dress pins are a frequently found item amongst the grave good repertoire. Pins such as these were made to be functional and ceremonial. Smaller pins, such as this example, catered to a functional need, used to close and hold in place excess material.
