Wooden boards like this one were used in conjunction with the weaving of sails, an activity traditionally carried out by women. They would place the lightly curved boards over their knees to be able to weave as accurately as possible. The sails were made of individual strips of mat, which were then joined together (II/1309). Antonie Brandeis also documented this work photographically.
