<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 444706, member: 5833"]I'm also inclined to think it was used in that way. Usually metal would saw through thread, not the other way around. The more I look at it, the more I think we're seeing it as it was designed to be, with a little bending. If the garment or accessory had horizontal loops, which could be made with thread, you would be able to attach or remove it at will, similar to a hook & eye. Material would have to be pliable, not rigid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
