Size: 2.4 W x 9 H (6.1 cm x 22.9 cm) Created and used by the Senufo peoples, this type of object is a heddle pulley, used on a narrow band loom to ease the movements of heddles (part of the looping mechanism of a loom), while, as the curatorial team at the Metropolitan Museum of Art describes of a very similar object, separating the warp threads and allowing the shuttle to seamlessly pass through the layers of thread.
