Description:
Two-harness tape loom with a section of partially woven tape. Rigid heddles that accommodates eight warp threads. Spring tension, leather harnesses. A section of what may be original tape woven on the loom survives. The loom is currently set up to mimic the weave structure of that extant sample. The loom may have been rewarped and the tape partially rewoven by Luanna Thorn for the Flynts, but that cannot be confirmed.
