I'm going with Wagon wheel rim.
If it were a metal spoked wheel then there would be a consistent hole pattern for the long bolt spokes all the way around the rim.
Here's an idea they were barrel stays for a pirate's rum keg.

I have one rim I found and one hay dump unit. I will have to have a look one day.

A band for a wooden wheel?

Supposed to be heated to expand then fit on the wheel to contract and be held secure.
Otherwise fasteners wear off and the band is loose again.
Yes a loose band that fit right prior could get fasteners put through it in a repair attempt.
Why spaced unevenly is another matter. Lo..l..

If it's an outer wheel band for a wooden wheel it's an oldie regardless.

I listened to a thing on Vikings a few weeks ago. They looked nothing like we are led to believe. It was quite eye, ear opening really. They actually became a very religious and peaceful people in the end. Was very interesting.

I think a large percentage of what we were taught to believe about history is BS. Many historians have agendas they tend to stick to no matter the facts. Money, peer pressure, & political correctness all play a part.

I like it except for helmets with horns. That wasn’t a Viking thing. In fact, metal Viking era helmets from Scandinavia are almost non existent. They have only one in a museum in Denmark. They probably had leather headgear.

Hi yeah. I heard a thing on it all the other week. It was very very different from the myths we are told today. One expert said that a horned helmet would have been the worst thing to wear into battle as a heavy blow catching a horn which would have been easy to do would be likely to cause serious neck damage from the head twisting. Yes the one that exists was ceremonial.

Hi. Yeah another one is the way the english are portrayed in movies back in mediaeval times, with the villagers all sickly with rotten teeth. They reckon they had wonderful teeth in fact, as their diet unlike ours didn't create dental decay. Iv heard some amazing things debunking so much stuff. The general public is hugely misled.
