Silver-coloured metal pin with a straight, tapering shaft. A semi-circular protrusion on one side at the neck contains a hole, through which a ribbon or chain could be threaded in order to prevent loss. The finial of the pin is oval-shaped with scalloped edges, and it is incised with a pattern of small circles and lines. Eleven small holes encircle the finial of the pin. There is a stone or piece of glass(?) set on either side of the pin's finial. On one side, there is a rectangular piece of green stone or glass. On the other side, there is an oval piece of dark blue stone or glass.
A tupu is a pin that was used by women in several Central and South American countries to secure wrapped dresses and shawls. They were often considered family heirlooms and passed down from mother to daughter. Tupus were worn with traditional wool clothing, but they are not normally used with clothing made from synthetic materials.
