EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of ancient textile tools from the Iron Age. The image features an assortment of spindle whorls, antler weaving combs, and a bone shuttle and loom fitting. Each artifact tells a story of the intricate craftsmanship and ingenuity of our ancestors. The spindle whorls were used in conjunction with spindles to spin thread, allowing for the creation of various textiles. These small circular objects served as weights, helping to maintain tension while spinning fibers into yarn. Next to them are antler weaving combs, which were essential for pressing up the weft threads during the weaving process. These finely crafted combs ensured that each strand was tightly woven together, resulting in durable and beautiful fabrics. Lastly, we see a bone shuttle and loom fitting. This tool would have been attached to a loom or worn on a weaver's belt through its hole. It facilitated the movement of thread across the warp during weaving. Displayed by the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK, these artifacts provide us with valuable insights into ancient textile production techniques. They serve as tangible reminders of our shared human history and highlight how innovation has shaped our world over time. Through this photograph, we can appreciate both the aesthetic beauty and functional significance of these Iron Age textile tools—a testament to human creativity throughout millennia.
