About the Item

Interesting round stone object. Most likely a element of a stone wine- or cheese press. On its own it has the feeling of a intriguing ancient disc with the weathered surface almost looking like a faded sunray dial. Really a utilitarian object made beautiful just because they could and afterwards tranformed by time in to a beautiful 'objet trouvé'. Mounted on a custom iron stand.
