Sewing needle
The weaving of roofs, sails, baskets or mats was one of the central handcrafts performed by women on the Marshall Islands. There are varying delicate needles, which are used according to the requirements of working a particular material. This is a needle made from a dolphin's jawbone that was used to braid pandanus leaves for house roofs.
