Descriptions
Object Description
Heddle-woven garter with irregular white and black pound or "pony" beads patterned over wool and cotton threads. An example of what Orchard (1975:119 - 21) called "square weave," with the warp (red wool and blue cotton yarns, braided at the ends) and weft (blue wool) threads crossing at right angles. At the beginning edge of the weaving there are two rows of twining using a plant fiber (probably bast) cordage. See conservation notes for additional information.
