About this object
History of use
Cloth woven with a tripod loom can be gifted between families, offered to influential people, or utilized as funeral shrouds. Today, the use of synthetic fibres, instead of natural handspun cotton, has become widespread. While weavers used to be almost exclusively men, women have now started adopting the technique.
