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.

Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900 or November 1901, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) /Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900 or November 1901, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit)
The provenance of this object is unclear. The 4 pins II/1361a-d, which were part of the 1st consignment of April 1900, are also assigned to the old inventory number 1341. It seems plausible that this needle belongs here, as the corresponding entry (object no. 66, object list Antonie Brandeis, 1st consignment April 1900, SAF D.Sm 35/1) only speaks unspecifically of "bone needles" in the plural. However, similar needles were also delivered with the 2nd consignment in November 1901, so that this object could theoretically also belong to the second consignment.
