Cast metal heddle pully used on a Burmese wooden frame loom. The human form raising both arms is known as Kinnara mythical musician, half woman half bird, that came from the Himalayas to watch over man during times of trouble. They represent a woman's beauty and grace. Two small bells are placed inside of the pully mechanism that chime as the device raises and lowers the heddles of the loom. Small native repair on left arm.
