Alloy...
In the Middle Ages, short pins were often used to fasten the headscarf or a veil. Especially in the high Middle Ages.
The headscarf was a symbol of female breeding and was intended to emphasise a woman's dignity and discipline, which is why it was often wrapped very tightly around the head and chin.
