Harness: Sledging
Description
A sledging harness for (humans?) made from flat hemp webbing and a hemp rope. Harness is made from two loops at right angles to each other. One loop has had one end sewn together from a smaller loop. This section also has a smaller loop of fibre rope woven into it. The other loop is also made from a flat hemp webbing but has at one end a metal ferrule which acts as an anchor for one side of the right angle loop, whilst the other end is woven into the other loop. The other end of this loop runs through a knot and becomes a rope which has tied to one end another metal ferrule and a section of rope.
