Another form of warp weight, of burnt clay, is somewhat frequently met with, Fig. 18, but it is described as appertaining to Roman times, and may therefore be either a Greek or Roman article. Similar weights from Cyprus and North Africa, &c., can be seen in the British Museum. Wooden pegs have been found at Gurob, which may possibly have been used for holding the warp and breast beams in position, Fig. 19. These pegs may appear to be rather short for the purpose, but in very primitive looms the warp is not kept so taut as might and should be, and hence there is not the same heavy strain on the pegs as we should deem necessary. The way to settle their use would be to fix them in solid ground and test them. [Illustration: Fig. 19.--Wooden Peg, possibly used for holding the warp and breast beams. Length 13·5 to 10·2 cm. (5-13/16 in. to 4 in.) _Gurob_ XVIII.-XIX. Dyn. (about 1580-1205 B.C.) Manchester Museum.] [Illustration: Fig. 20.--Long straight lath with notches at each end, probably a laze rod. Length 1 m. 24 (4 ft. 13/16 in.) Breadth 5·2 cm. (2 in.) Thickness 2·2 cm.

Length 1 m. 20 (3 ft. 11-1/4 in.) Breadth 6·5 cm. (1-11/32 in.). Thickness 1 cm. (3/8 in.) _Kahun._ XII. Dynasty about 2000-1788 B.C. Manchester Museum.] At Kahun a long straight lath, Fig. 20, was found which is probably a laze rod, the notches being apparently for a nooze to slip into and so prevent the rod working towards the weaver which it has a tendency to do. Another long but curved lath, Fig. 21, also found at Kahun is probably a beater-in.
