stone wheel
Ancient rolling circle
A stone wheel is a wheel made of stone, typically associated with ancient or primitive technology.
The most familiar image is the oversized currency of cartoon cavemen, though actual stone wheels served as grinding implements in mills or early vehicle components.
Stone wheels represent humanity's earliest wheel-making, before wood and metal took over: The museum displayed a stone wheel from a Bronze Age cart.
