Description

Cog, part of a large clock possibly from a building. The cog has 35 downward-facing sharp teeth and a metal cross inside the ring that supports a cylindrical component that is formed of two discs and two smaller discs with eight rods attaching them. An octangular shaft with a small round peg at its tip protrudes from here.
