Needle box
Weaving roofs, sails, baskets or mats was one of the main handicraft activities of women in the Marshall Islands. Differently fine tools were therefore used to meet the various requirements for processing the material. Fine needles made from bird bones like these were used to embroider bast ornaments on mats. The three needles are in a hollow piece of bamboo that is closed with a piece of fabric.
