Title
Post Medieval to Modern: Unidentified serrated wheel
Description
English: A complete copper alloy serrated wheel, of uncertain function and dating but probably Post Medieval to Modern (AD 1800 to AD 1900).

The wheel has been made from sheet copper alloy metal. A sub circular perforation has been cut and positioned off centre. It has an internal diameter of 8.2 mm. The edge of the wheel is serrated, with twenty three (23) sub triangular (V shaped) teeth. The front of the wheel has been stamped with six (6) sunburst designs, spaced unequally around the central perforation. The reverse of the wheel is plain and undecorated.

It has a diameter of 35.7 mm and 2.3 mm thick. It weighs 7.4 g.

The wheel is a mid brown colour, with an even surface patina.

No direct parallel has been found for this artefact at the time of recording. Possible suggestions for use including pastry wheel, spur rowel, toothed cog, whirligig toy. However this artefact does not bear any of the required characteristics for most of those identifications. It is probably Post Medieval to Modern in dating (AD 1800 to AD 1900).
