Description

This curved needle was carved in ivory and was carefully polished. The eye of the needle is wide and is pierced by a wide hole without wear marks. The object was placed at the side of the deceased. It is not known if it was a bradawl to work leather or a needle to hold clothes together.

Cette aiguille a été taillée dans l'ivoire et soigneusement polie. Elle est recourbée. Le chas est large et percé d'une large perforation sans trace d'usure. L'object était placé devant les côtés du mort. On ne sait s'il s'agit d'une alêne pour le travail du cuir ou d'une épingle qui fixait les vêtements.
