| Description | Handmade wood loom with wooden bars. Each bar has a hole pierced into its midpoint through which strips of cloth may be passed; cloth may also pass through the spaces between the bars. The frame has teeth carved across its bottom and a wood handle on its top with a hole through which a leather strip has been threaded. The loom is stained and decorated with red paint. No shuttle would have been used with a loom of this type. |
