Waffle Iron

Isabelle De Strange

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a loom and spindle. The illustration features a spinning tool with a rectangular wooden slab adorned with a central ornate carving, surrounded by a grid pattern. Two elongated intersecting wooden pieces form a support structure below the slab. Beneath this is a smaller spindle or distaff depicted in fine lines, showing a metal rod with a flat rectangular plate and a hook-like structure at one end. The drawing is rendered in a technical, illustrative style, likely intended for educational or schematic reference.
