The long pin made of bronze has one end with a quadrangular cross-section and the other with a circular cross-section. It was found in 1878 in the village-sanctuary of Abini, along with hundreds and hundreds of other bronze artifacts. Nuragic brooches, of various types and sizes, could have had different functions: binder clips, ridge needles, piercing tools, but also stilettos or throwing daggers in the case of the longer and stronger specimens. These personal objects are often found laid in shrines and are dated between the 10th and 8th centuries B.C. (Late Bronze-Early Iron Age).
