content: 41667 was apparently catalogued as a heddle only? See ledger book drawing. However, the object exhibited in NHB Hall 11, Case 20, and identified as this number in the records for the hall, consists of a hole-and-slot heddle; a partially woven belt threaded onto the heddle, with weft yarn wrapped around a stick; a batten; and a woven belt/tie for connecting loom to weaver. Artifact catalogue #127684, a loom yoke, had been attached to the partially woven belt so that the whole would form a backstrap belt loom set for exhibit purposes. It is possible that some or all of the objects now associated with #41667 are exhibit props, or are other catalogued artifacts which have lost their real museum numbers and were attached to the heddle for exhibit purposes.
