My first thought was a water wheel too. But I can't find any drawings 9r information to would support the length of the ends. The taper looks as thos the entire hub sat in a yoke or wooden bracket on either side of the spokes which would make more sense that the hub sat on top of a yoke rather than a yoke sitting on the hub from above. I'm still at a loss.

I traced it back to a sale in Kansas City Mo. But by then it was already the art piece you see with base so it could have come from anywhere.

I brought home this unique piece but can't find any information on it. I have a food feeling it's a wheel hub but absolutely no idea from what because the design is so different.

It stands 3 feet high (or long if in use)
Is tapered at both ends like an hour glass (odd part)
10 inch diameter in the middle of the spokes
16 spokes with 4 inch long spoke holes

Any help identifying this piece is appreciated
