Yes, the handcrafted bone shuttle is excellent for special techniques like tablet weaving, as it serves both to secure and hold the weft threads. The polished surface of the natural material should be kept dry and, if necessary, cared for with a soft cloth and occasionally with a little natural oil or wax to maintain its shine and prevent it from drying out.
What historical backgrounds or eras are particularly characteristic of the use of this bone shuttle, and why was this material already popular for weaving tools in the Middle Ages?

Bone shuttles are particularly characteristic of the Middle Ages, as well as the Viking, Celtic, and Roman eras. Bone was a popular material in the Middle Ages because polishing it gave it an extremely smooth surface, preventing the threads from snagging. Furthermore, as a byproduct of animal husbandry, it was a readily available, robust, and durable raw material for textile production.
