Abstract
This article deals with a hairpin carved out of Ivory which has been discovered by an Egyptian
archaeological mission during excavation works in 1982(a)at the site of the ancient city Sais(b),and
was kept in Tanta museum(c). Researches about such Greco-Roman Egyptian artifacts are
very rare and that is what led me to study the case of Sais hairpin. Within the framework, I
provide a detailed description of the hairpin, an interpretation of the form, examples of
Sabazius hands, cult of Sabazius within the Roman Empire, Sabazius in Egypt and in the
end, the significance of the hairpin with a conclusion.
