The shape and decoration of these disc-headed pins with a perforated neck, found at Možjanca in the Gorenjska region, are characteristic of the Middle Bronze Age in central Europe. The unusually
undulating body of the pins, which once fastened a garment, is
also characteristic of the 16th and 15th centuries BC. The pins were
found by chance, but the fact they were found in a pair suggests
they came from a female grave.
