Message:: [QUOTE="JohnNL, post: 317472, member: 6438"]On 2 occasions i got these... things, with something else i bought. Very unassuming, but this recurring find made me curious. The first time (maybe 10 years ago) i got them with an african object (i think) and they were described as wooden weights (unlikely?). The second time in a box of mainly asian stuff (with also the two combs form my other thread, of which one of them turned out te be african).They appear to be parts of some kind of contraption, blocks? Pulleys?. On the square ones there are clear signs of wear by rope in the ring, opposite block side. No obvious wear on the round one. On te back of the round one there's a hole with a remnant of coarse woven rope glued inside and glue remnants around the hole. One of the square ones also has a hole in the back, with stump of wood glued in? The other square one has a hole in de side and just some glue remnants on the back and .Somehow i thought about rajasthan for the round one (there was also opiumteapot for there in the lot) but that's really a very long shot. Any one any idea's on these could be and from where?Just mention anything that comes to mind <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Might give leads for me to search on further.[ATTACH=full]105444[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]105445[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
