A rare 18th-century sailor-made jagging wheel featuring an elegantly carved seahorse, double-sided with embellished beadwork along its tail and upper shaft. The seahorse is the handle. It has some wear to the wood from constant use. The shaft has carved panels that extend around the entire piece. The wheel I think is either wood or baleen. It’s hard to see as the wheel has darkened from use over the many years. The jagging wheel is in excellent condition with no chips or hairlines. It measures 10½" long.
