Details of the sâqiya

Gearwheel from a sâqiya in the Valley of the Kings This is an abandoned gearwheel without any cogs. The wheel is seen from underneath. The footstep journal is just a pointed pivot, which rotates in a stone or a soft piece of wood. The next picture [125] shows this piece of wood. [124]
