A short note in Man (August 1920, no. 62) describing a small pear-shaped cane loom from Iquitos, Peru, collected by ex-Consul David B. Adamson for the Liverpool Free Public Museum. Roth gives its dimensions, warp count and construction (cross band, two stays, continuous leash, missing heddle rod), and describes four accompanying warp-patterned ribbons or wrist-bands and four pot-whorl spindles. Adamson's notes on local weaving and ornament are included, with a comparison to similar looms in British Guiana and in Farabee's Central Arawaks. Figures show the loom, the ribbons and the spindle whorls.
