#FindsFriday Bone needle

This #FindsFriday, we have a bone needle for you👀

Here we have an example of a sewing needle made from animal bone, which dates to the Roman period.

This needle has a flat pointed head with a circular eye. The width of the head of most bone needles imply that they were used only for sewing very coarse cloth, as a large circumference would be at risk of leaving a large hole in finer cloth🧵
