Lorestan pins as an object with diverse kinds, diverse construction methods and diverse functions, though investigated in the studies of researchers as a part of Lorestan’s bronze objects and, in some cases, in general studies, have not yet been focused on well enough, and no technical studies as such have ever been done on them.
Among the manmade objects of the inhabitant tribes in this region are metal objects. One of the metal objects discoveredis metal pin in which different metals such as iron, silver and bronze and,so far in some cases, a combination of these have been used. They date back to the first and second millennium BC. This study tries to investigate, describe, explain, compare and introduce these pins focusing on their manufacturing techniques, designs, type, function and history.
