Product description
Small pins have been found dating back to the early Middle Ages, where they were used to secure headscarves or veils in the hair. During the High Gothic period, these pins became more widespread and were primarily used to fasten tightly fitting head coverings.
This particular replica of a medieval veil pin originates from the Vadstena Monastery in southern Sweden, where it was likely used by a nun. The design of the pin’s head is shaped like a three-leaf clover, a symbol that, according to legend, Saint Patrick used to explain the Christian Trinity. The three leaves were said to represent the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The medieval veil pin is made from brass, with a length of 6 cm and a width of 10 mm, based on the original historical find. The wire thickness is 1 mm, giving the pin both strength and delicacy in its design.
