Title: Weaving
Date: 1970-1973
Creator: Jessop, Penny Patricia
Description: Weaving was done by men. And the looms were all just cobble together with sticks that they lash together so they could fold it up and take it away anytime they wanted to. You usually hired somebody to come and live in your compound for the amount of time it took him to make all the strips that went into making a blanket. Most of the weavers came from Upper Volta (Burkina Faso).
