INDIAN BEADWORK 

Fig. 6. An unfinished beaded band with wooden heddle. 
This is shown as mounted in the Museum case, but in use there are no supporting 
parts, only the heddle and the threads. One end of the \ yarp is made fast to any con- 
venient object and the other to the belt of the weaver, who can thus hold the warp tight 
as the heddle is manipulated. There is reason to believe that this heddle is of French 
Colonial origin and so not an invention of the Indian. See Sauk and Fox collection.
