Loom3097/20

Small loom with bars made of two thin wooden sticks with a small woven textile attached between them. The top bar is made of a slightly thicker stick with a dark brown exterior and a light brown core, with the bark removed and rounded ends. The bottom bar is made of a thinner light brown stick with the bark removed and rounded ends. The textile is made with brown and light beige fibres, with rows of thin horizontal stripes at the top and bottom. The textile is connected to the bars of the loom with light beige string wrapped several times around each end and loosely wrapped across the bar. There are 4 stripes at the top and 7 at the bottom. The top half of the weaving is tightly woven in a complex pattern of wide bands, separated by thin stripes, made up of slanted columns patterned with triangular steps, wave motifs, circles, and zigzags. Two of the slanted columns in the second row contain bird(?) motifs, and the central slanted column in the bottom row contains a zoomorphic figure which appears to have a curled tail and paws. The bottom half of the textile is made up of loose, unwoven strands of brown and light beige fibres, which are woven into the bottom thin horizontal striped panel and connected to the bottom of the loom.
