Loom
A long, thick section of twisted hemp loom cord. The loom cord has been tied twice in the middle of the piece, leaving the two ends hanging parallel to one another. The loose sections of the cord are tied at each end creating small loops. There is a piece of plant material, possibly a corn cob, stuck through the threads of one segment of the cord. Another, smaller hemp rope is loosely tied around the knots of the larger cord and its tails similarly hang loose.
