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. The needles on display here are derived from Heron wing bones, which are used for making thick mats from fallen pandanus leaves. These mats were mainly used for sleeping.
