another band loom

[SNSpies]

I have just discovered yet another depiction of a band loom. This one is very much like 4) on page 97 in "Ecclesiastical Pomp".   "Penelope at her loom, surrounded by her increasingly exasperated suitors" (London, British Library, MS Royal 20, C.V. fol. 6iv) -- no tablets; no warp spreader; sword beater -- two upright poles, about shouldder height, on large round bases with a pole between them at shoulder height.   Nancy   Nancy Spies Arelate Studio www.weavershand.com/ArelateStudio.html NEW AND IMPROVED! "But if by 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by 'Liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal'." John F. Kennedy, 14 Sept 1960
