DescriptionThis is a metal needle used in leather work. The needle is fairly large and includes a pointed tip with the eye just below it. From the eye the body of the needle continues straight downward before curving to the side and up again. The body then curves sideways again about half-way up, wraps around the upper body, and curves straight up once more before ending in a shallow point.
