Description

Mold form with six armed spokes looking somewhat like a wagon wheel without the wheel. At the end of each spoke is a 7" piece, perpendicular to the spoke. Each has 5 "pegs." Presumably these pegs fit into another piece we don't have. The 7" piece is "sliced" in two. Three of the spokes are missing half of the piece. One spoke has a half broken end piece. The 3 spokes that have both pieces of the end have been tied together with twine. The twine is "old." dark brown
