Description: | Roman copper alloy needle, 79mm long, 6mm wide and 4mm thick. The object is in good condition with a green patina and weighs 7.85grams. The point of the needle has snapped off, so its length is unknown. It has a circular sectioned shaft, 4mm in diameter, this flattens towards the eye and becomes rectangular in section. The eye itself is 14mm long and 3mm wide There is a tapering linear depression which runs through the eye to the tip which produces a figure eight shaped section. This must have aided the passage of bodkin and thread through fabric. The needle is a Crummy type 3 (fig. 70, 1991, In Crummy, N. Colchester 2, The Roman small finds). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 200
