I have heard that Shakers deliberately (?) included imperfections in
their work so that it was clear that it was not made by a human, not

I don't know about Shakers but that concept is certainly true about
Muslims. The prayer mats they weave always have an intentional mistake
in the weave because nothing on earth should be perfect but God.

THAT'S IT! I'll sell my stuff as Muslim holy trinket boxes complete
with God-pleasing imperfections.
