Backstrap weaving loom (Still Image)

Backstrap weaving loom

unknown

60 x 24", wood, bamboo and string.

This handloom most closely resembles examples from Guatemala and Peru (the warp or front and back loom bars are hand cut and that design is more frequently seen in looms made in those countries). The shed and heddle sticks are bamboo, and the warp bars are forked and made of wood. https://www.iai.spk-berlin.de/fileadmin/dokumentenbibliothek/Indiana/Indiana_31/IND_31_2014_291-320_Andrade-Ramon.pdf
