This wooden block, likely a pulley, was crafted in 1863 at the Rijkswerf Willemsoord shipyard. Its simple, functional form is typical of industrial design, highlighting the craftsmanship and practicality of the era. The sturdy construction and leather reinforcements suggest it was designed for heavy-duty use, perhaps in shipbuilding or other maritime activities. The three grooves indicate that it was designed to work with multiple ropes, adding to its versatility.
