Romano-British Bone Needle

3D Model

This rough bone needle is one of many craft implements that were found in Victoria Cave, Yorkshire, including spindle whorls and weaving combs. However, they are not believed to be evidence of a workshop, but instead were probably left as offerings by members of a Romano-British cave cult.
