Description

Wooden post that fits together with other beams to form a rectangular structure to suspend a loom (82-7-265). This vertical post is on the opposite side of where the weaver would sit, on the left. It has two horizontal beams that fit into the slots on it (82-7-294A top, 82-7-294C bottom) which connect into another vertical wooden post (82-7-294I). The bottom slot allows for the horizontal beam (82-7-294C) to go through the entire post and out the other side.
