These are sewing needles.

They are from Ghurab. Women usually sewed the clothes for their families but spinning and weaving tended to be carried out in specialized workshops. The temples employed skilled needlewomen to provide ritual garments and temple hangings. These are sewing needles. They are made from a copper alloy. They are between 3,300 and 3,600 years old, dating to the 18th Dynasty (1550-1295 BCE) in the New Kingdom.
