Description
The piece has the shape of a massive cylinder, ending with a cap with a maximum diameter of approximately 10 cm at one end. The cylindrical part was introduced in the wooden pole of a gate and the other part rested on a thick iron plate. The plate was purposely hollowed so it would allow for the gate to turn.
