Copper Bow Fibula and Dress Pins

Description

This is a bow fibula and set of matching dress pins that I made on June 13th, 2014.  The bow fibula and matching dress pins were all hand-beaten from copper wire, using a chasing hammer and small anvil.  I finished the tips of the pins with sandpaper.  The style of the fibula is similar to simple bow fibulae made in Europe from approximately the 12th century BC up to the Roman era.  Fibula are not only supposed to be beautiful, but serve a functional purpose similar to a modern safety pin.
