Two rhombus-shaped pin were near the ribcages of the deceased. The shield of the pin is decorated with a relief stamped ornament, which consists of a rhombus and a pearl in the center, pressed out from the inside. Four similar pearls are placed in the corners of the shield. Along the perimeter of the plate and around the pearls there is an ornament punched from the inside. The upper corner of the shield is wrapped on the reverse side in the form of a loop. The rod is attached to the lower corner of the shield. The upper part of the rod is twisted around the axis by one turn clockwise. Similar pins could be used to pin clothes, when the string was passed through the loop at the top of the shield and tied under the rod.
