Well, for heaven's sake ...
I started skimming through one of the books I bought at the Walters Art 
Museum the other day and discovered two more pictures of the Virgin Mary 
weaving on band looms.  The information is given below for those of you who 
would like to include it on page 98 in Chapter Five of "EPAC".

Book of Hours by the Master of the Munich "Golden Legend", Paris, ca. 
1425-1430 (Baltimore, Walters Art Museum, MS. W. 288, fol 17)
-- no tablets;  no warp spreader;  sword beater
-- one upright post shown (painted bright red), about waist high, with no 
support base shown and no board between posts, with the band warped about a 
third of the way down from the top of the posts

Book of Hours by the Master of the Collins Hours, Bruges, ca. 1440 
(Philadelphia, Museum of Art, 1945-65-4, fol. 173v)
-- hexagonal tablets with two holes in a tablet;  no warp spreader, no sword 
beater
-  two upright posts, about waist height, on braced T bases, with no board 
between the two posts and the band warped about halfway down from the top of 
the posts
