Two miniature wooden fish-wheel models, each showing a wheel fitted with wire-mesh baskets, sloping chutes and side collection baskets. Fish wheels use river current to rotate baskets through the water and lift fish into a collection area; these models reproduce that working arrangement on a small scale. The larger measures approximately 16.5" x 23" x 6.25" tall.
