Loom

A long twisted section of loom cord. The cord is knotted in the middle around a piece of plant material, possibly a corn cob. On one side of the knot, the cord forms a large loop. On the other side of the knot, the two ends of the rope are tied around the end beam of a backstrap loom. The cord forms a Y-shape between the loop and its two other sections.
