Description: | A complete bone probable weaving implement. It is 95.96mm in length, c10.99mm in width and 6.94mm thick. Both terminals are rounded/blunt and the whole object has been polished smooth. The slightly wider rounded end (11.36mm in width) has a central circular perforation, measuring 4.92mm in diameter. The terminal end tapers slightly and is 8.21mm in width at its tip. No exact parallel could be found for this probable weaving implement, however, it could date from the Anglo-Saxon period onwards. It is most likely to have been used for weaving owing to its blunt rounded terminal.
