content: From Card: "Ready to be starched and put in loom. It belongs to a set of 13 numbers illustrating the outfit of Guatemalan women spinning and weaving. See photos of cat. no. 214371 [in the National Anthropological Archives]" "L [Length] of sticks 18 in."

content: Note that object currently found in the collection, with this number on it, is a set of 3 sticks, each about 18 inches long. The measurement matches the card (18 inches). But the description on the card sounds like it is describing warp threads ("ready to be starched and put on loom") while these sticks are more likely part of the loom assembly itself. Is the warp missing, or was there some mix-up with the description on the card? The ledger book also calls this "warp" with measurement 18 inches.
