Garment pins like these were used by women to fasten their capes, lliclas, which they pinned to the top of their clothes. The dress itself consisted of a length of fabric wrapped around the body. The motif of the garment pin is a butterfly, which was probably worshipped for its metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly.
