Summary
A complex horse drawn plough consisting of a centrally positioned four-spoked wheel, behind which is a curved bar forming the share, with a second share behind this. Two curved arms (one on either side) hold two handles, each with a small metal plate at the end; these are adjustable in height by turning a threaded bar. One handle is snapped and both are bent. Four cross-bars support the handles. A straight tee head is present.
