Early humans weaving. Coloured artwork of early humans spinning fibres from the flax plant on a drop spindle (lower centre) for use on a loom (background,upper right). The loom is an upright one,using weights to stretch the threads and ensure a tight warp for the fabric. Weaving is thought to be one of the oldest crafts in the world. Here,a domesticated dog indicates that this scene dates from the late Stone Age (Neolithic) or later. Original artwork published in Primitive Man (Louis Figuier,1870) | |
