Rare Folk Painted Winder for Yarn
Ref: 4605
It may look like a toy, musical instrument or some kind of vice….it did attach to a work table but it is in fact a device for measuring yarn, the cymbal chimes with each unit of length. This was a decorative piece, probably not used, but forming part of the dowry collection.
