Not everything is people

So far I have shown images of people, male, female, and child but the artisans work was not restricted to just people. Take a look at the photo below, it was taken at Stonington Borough, Stonington Ct..
At first many disregard it, "It's a coffin with a blanket over it" is what one Friend of mine said. Look at the edge of the lid, the ivy, look at thefabric, the folds, the way it lays hanging over the edge.  Now..look at the rope, the tassel hanging from the end, but...take a close look  at  the  rope.

Take a CLOSE look at the rope



It not only has the spirals of a length of rope, it has the threads. This has always led me to wonder, what if you are almost done, and you broke a piece off. What do you do?
