Dimensions of the Bronze Age dress pin: 15 x 3 cm.
Wheel-headed pins are considered a typical form of pin from the Bronze Age barrows and were a common clothing accessory found on men (single) and women (in pairs) during excavations in Central Europe and France.
From the Middle Bronze Age, i.e. between 1600 and 1300 BC, wheel pins are primarily known as grave goods from barrows and were found centred on the chest or in pairs under the collarbones, depending on the area of application.
There are different versions of Bronze Age wheel pins: single or double, with a round or a more oval wheel, with one or more eyelets and a different number of spokes.
