WELL ROPE SUPPORT, ETHIOPIA

Photographs © Tim Hamill

Well Rope Support 1
21" high, 18" diameter at top
$3000

This old hollowed out tree trunk was used as a well rope support., guiding and smoothing the movement of the ropes hauling water. We are exploring different ways to display it. In the vertical position it requires one thin support post (included) to be level.

This well cover / rope support has been vetted as being authentic with significant signs of use and age.
