Well Rope Support 1
21" high, 18" diameter at top
$3000
This old hollowed out tree trunk was used as a well rope support., guiding
and smoothing the movement of the ropes hauling water. We are exploring
different ways to display it. In the vertical position it requires one thin
support post (included) to be level.
This well cover / rope support has been vetted as being authentic
with significant signs of use and age.
