The main body of the windlass such as the drum, ratchet mechanism, king post, pawl and handles(one damaged) have been turned and worked in bone. The remaining parts such as the decorative drum ends, ratchet linkage and handle supports are made from brass whilst the arms themselves are made from steel.
