Safety these pins were invented in the early Iron Age (around 1400 BC) of the Mediterranean basin and became common in different regions around 800 BC, and their use by different cultures has continued in various forms to this day. The research was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method and library tools, and its aim is to study the history and types of uses of safety pins in the western half of Iran in the first half of the first millennium.

In the late 8th century BC and especially during the 7th century BC in Iran, safety pins in the form of various types and subspecies became common for fastening clothing, personal decoration, votive gifts and in some cases as amulets and magic.
