Manual Washing Machine

Round, barrel-shaped manual washing machine constructed of wooden staves painted green, bound by metal hoops.
The lid and handle assembly are painted black. The washer is mounted on a cast iron base with decorative cross-bracing and four curved legs for stability.

A manual lever and crank mechanism is attached to the side, designed to agitate the laundry inside the tub.
The wringer assembly that would have sat atop the lid is missing.
