Some metalwork for a change. Yes this really was a hairpin.
Most of the examples I've seen were created for the Imperial Family or Aristocrats however I have seen references that they were also used by wealthy families as parts of wedding outfits.
I wonder if they were ever made in bronze or copper or enamel for families who couldn't afford gold?
