Description: | Copper alloy possible needle. Cast D-section rod with a round drilled and lightly countersunk aperture of diameter 3.5mm at an expansion just short of its wider end, tapering to a point at the other end. Now bent. Unusual broad needles are often associated with net making. The flat back to the object would enable its use as a mount or reinforcement, as perhaps on a book cover, but the pointed end would have no role to play in such a setting. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1700.Length (as found): 40.5mm, Width: 10.2mm, Thickness: 2.4mm, Weight: 5.56gms.
