Throw Shuttle

Throw Shuttle, Top

The image depicts a wooden weaving shuttle lying on a light fabric background. The shuttle has a rectangular hollow center used for holding the thread or yarn (which would be wound onto a bobbin), which is not currently present. A string is attached near the center, holding a small white tag with the handwritten numbers "1985.31" and "B/4-10," possibly catalog references or inventory numbers. The shuttle's smooth, brown surface suggests it may have been used for weaving fabric, its simple yet functional design reflecting traditional craftsmanship. The tag and setting imply that this item may be part of a collection or display, preserved for its historical or cultural significance.
