About this work
Long iron spoke with a round cross-section ending in a rectangular piece. Belonging to NG-NM-7662-1, they formed one piece together. This spoke was sawn through at Hammerfest because it was thought to be the barrel of a firearm. The spoke was, however, found to be made of solid iron. According to B. Kist, this is a hand spoke.
