Apart from the horizontal loom Wilkinson and Robert Hay[C] also recorded the existence of an illustration of an upright loom, said in error to be at Eileithyias (El Kab). Wilkinson's copy, Fig. 13, is more elaborate than that of Hay. Mr. Davies informs me that the original is not at Eileithyias, but in the tomb of Nefer-hotep at Thebes. Wilkinson in regard to this illustration quotes the oft-repeated statement of Herodotus (_circa_ 460-455 B.C.) in reference to looms in general:--"Other nations make cloth by pushing the woof upwards, the Egyptians on the contrary, press it down." On this statement Wilkinson remarks: "This is confirmed by the paintings which represent the process of making cloth; but at Thebes, a man who is engaged in making a piece of cloth with a coloured border or selvedge, appears to push the woof upwards, the cloth being fixed above him, to the upper part of the frame" [Fig. 13]. But I am unable to follow Wilkinson in this, for I can find no indication in his illustration which shows how the beating-in of the weft is accomplished. From the illustration all one can say is that it might have been done either way. Wilkinson's illustration is lettered from _a_ to _p_ but this lettering is not explained by him at all, excepting in the case of the letter _k_, of which he says: "_k_ is a shuttle, not thrown, but put in with the hand. It had a hook at the end ..." and he proceeds to refer to the drawing elsewhere of the horizontal loom. He does not show the hooks in his illustration. In Fig. 14, I give the sketch made by Mr. N. de G. Davies of the remains of the original from which Wilkinson made his illustration. [Illustration: Fig. 14.--Drawing by Mr. N. de G.
