ShuttleSf1001

Green painted, boat-shaped, wooden shuttle with solid end points and hollowed out central area. Notches at the ends of the hollowed out area support a metal rod which holds the wooden bobbin on which white yarn is wound. The yarn is fed to the outside of the shuttle through a single slot positioned in the centre of one side. The shuttle is crudely carved and the green paint is worn off in some sections. One chip along the upper edge.
