Quote:OK, one thing that absolutely JUMPS out at me looking through these archives is the number of slings with long tassels on the release end.
I've built slings with very short split cords / tassels for the "grip" but nothing even close to this. It seems totally contrary to the "minimalist" approach that seems to typify our "slinging.org" most high-tech / high performance slings - yet these guys had centuries of continuous evolution in their designs...
So.
Why? Any takers?
All those slings are archaeological objets mainly from burials, so they are ceremonial slings, decoratives and colourful, but not very adapted for practical use. Some time ago I put here the link to this site, and certainly people found it dificcult to browse it, as they are mixed slings and other textiles. But when a sling appears the followings items are always slings too.
Thanks to make it easer to get some contents.
