Fingure Loop Braiding

According to wikipedia the Kumihimo cord was first created by a form of finger-loop braiding. So then I was wondering what fingger braiding was...
Fingerloop braiding is a technique of making sturdy, and decorative, cords from threads. 
The braid is made from loops of thread, attached at a central point, and the loops placed over the fingers and interlaced in different ways.
It originated in theMiddle Ages, in London they used silk from the12th century.
