Alloy...
In the Middle Ages, women often wore headscarves to tame their hair during their daily work and to protect it from dirt and vermin. Depending on the time period and cultural area, more or less short pins were used to fasten them.
Pins were also used to fasten a veil, and in the High Middle Ages the so-called fabric was wrapped tightly around the head and chin and fixed with small pins which symbolised female chastity and dignity.
