| Scholarly Notes | The heddle pulley suspends the parallel guides of the warp threads on the loom. They are generally small, highly personal objects carved by master carvers or by the weavers themselves. This pulley certainly represents a bushcow whose horns are broken off. There are indications on the piece that the horns were present - probably an old break. - N. Hawkes 11/5/98.
