Vesterheim image, painted Moi wheel

No maker’s mark, but it is a Moi wheel. There is a carved date of 1844 on half table and a painted date of 1845 on drive wheel. Horizontal table on three turned legs. Treadle is curved. Secondary half table, on four short turned posts, holds the mother of all. Parallel rods go from half table to drive wheel support posts. Drive wheel has fourteen turned spokes. The name of the owner, Ingeborg Staalesdatter Versland [1826–1900], is painted on the drive wheel in the regional style by an itinerant artist.
