Printed on the bottom “FAIT A LA MAIN PAR HENRI LEGAULT”(c) A sturdy dark brown stained upright spinning wheel (30.0cmx10.5 wide) sitting on top of a round piece of wood with three splayed legs; the treadle is connected by thin piece of metal that is attached to the footman, in turn attached to the handle and metal bar that goes through the centre of the wheel. There is a piece of red string, simulating the driver band, around the fly wheel, which is directly above, looping to the flyer whorl and some unspun linen wrapped around the distaff.
