Early Twentieth century Millstone ( Eastern Tennessee)

A millstone from the early 20th century at the neighbors' farm.  It is rife with symbolism, i.e. the path of life where one is ground to dust (death), the path of life where one is shaped from raw materials to another state.  Miller (i.e. dusted with flour) is an old word for "White Moth" in Tennessee (the usage died out in the early or middle 1980's).  Puck/Buck is associated with the mill.
