RMRC5XK8–Terracotta loom weight. Culture: Greek, Corinthian. Dimensions: H.: 1 11/16 x 2 1/16 in. (4.3 x 5.2 cm). Date: ca. 575-525 B.C.. The geometric decoration shows a rather even balance between glazed and reserved areas. It recalls the checkerboard patterns on the shrouds depicted in Geometric representations of the prothesis (laying out of the dead). One wonders whether the pattern on the loomweight echoed, in simpler form, that of the textiles being woven. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
