Description (CMS Description)
Long piece of ?wood, around which is wrapped a large quantity of fine 3-ply plaited cord of coir, light brown in colour. The way the cord is wrapped forms a diamond pattern. Three metal pins have been inserted into the object: one keeps the end of the cord in place, another one does not seem to have a purpose and the third one keeps the label attached to the object.
