Object type: NEEDLE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy needle of uncertain date. The need le is complete but bent. Unusually, it is made from rolled sheet metal and the damage in the centre reveals that it is hollow. The needle is oval in section tapering to round in section towards the point. The head is slightly flattened and cut into a lozenge shape (a pointed end). The seam in the rolled sheet metal is along the centre of one face, and on the other face, a central groove was cut. The groove may have alloyed the thread to lie in the recess so preventing the needle head becoming too thick when threaded. A sub-oval / sub-l…
