🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Bronze cylindrical thing.

[Urien of Rheged]

I found this close to where I was fortunate enough to.come across a Bronze age Spear head (circa 1800 - 1500 BC)
It weighs 40 grams and if you look carefully you can see there are two tiny insert holes at either end.
Now I realise that just because it was found in the vicinity of that Spear head doesnt mean its contempory but it certainly has some antiquity. I just don't have a clue as to what it's use is which would be a good start. Any help gratefully received.

This may sound strange, but it looks like a very large "sewing" needle of some sort, but the size (diameter) is throwing me. 🤔🤨

The object is strange my friend not your interpretation of it.
It certainly has some antiquity and as I say I found it near to the 3500 year old Spearhead pictured and so I can't help but think it may well be ancient too.
I just need to identify what it is though before thinking of dates.

Thanks for your interest and help.
