Figures and faces that adorn heddle pulleys do not represent a spirit or divine being. Nevertheless, sculptors devoted considerable time and effort to the creation of finely made objects. Unlike sculpted figures and masks that convey deeper meaning, everyday objects are examined closely for their craftsmanship. These objects alone are described with words that mean, "to take a good look." Sculptors take such care in the production of these small objects because they can often lead to larger commissions for figures or masks. com.gallerysystems.emuseum.core.entities.Classification@66https://emuseum.cornell.edu/objects/8484/rdf
