Description

Rectangular, brown, wooden weaving comb strung with lengths of threads tie-dyed black, red, white, green, yellow, purple and blue. The threads are knotted together above the comb, to suspend the weaving, and hang in a large knotted bundle below the comb. The comb itself has flat, brown tines that are tapered to a point at each end, and held together between two sticks, which have fibre wrapped in between each tine and around the horizontal stick to secure them in place. The tines protrude approximately 1.5 cm to one side of the support sticks, and approximately 7 cm out the other side. There are also green and grey threads wrapped around the tines and around one end of the support stick. The tines have a horizontal line of lighter brown across the top and the bottom of the comb.
