Description : A rectangular loom with an incomplete fabric attached. The loom is made of four slightly smoothed sticks lashed together with strips of sheep-hide. The mottled red warps are lashed to each end bar with separate cords. Thick grey and black striped fabric i
Commentaires : The model was made by Gonzalo Yucra Huatta specifically for the Museum to document this fabric making technique. The full size loom is used in a variety of positions: across the lap or slanting from the knees to the ground while sitting or kneeling.
Fonctions : Men use a loom approximately four times the size of this model, on which to weave the stiff under belt which is attached and worn under wide red belts. The under belt acts as a back support and is used during heavy labour. It also keeps the red belt smooth and attractive. The weft wrapped structure and the four selvedges of the underbelt are characteristics found in pre-colombian fabrics.
