Fig. 5. Weaving Frames. 
(a) A weaving bow. This is no doubt an old and original method of bead weay- 
ing that still survives in the form shown here. Quill bands (Fig. 10), the forerunners 
of beaded bands, are woven on similar bows. 
(b) A bead weaving frame. The warp threads are wrapped around the frame to 
the desired breadth of girdle or band. Weaving then proceeds as in Fig. 8a or 8b, 
until a band of the desired length is obtained, when the warp threads are cut and 
trimmed into end fringes.
