Miller Adjusting Hopper on Grinding Stones Museum Plinth

Soft morning light falls through sheer curtains, illuminating a pair of heavy grinding stones mounted on a museum plinth. A wooden hopper sits directly above the stones, its grain worn smooth by decades of use. Fine dust particles drift in the angled beams of early summer sunlight, suspended in the still air. The stones are dark gray with rough, pitted textures, contrasting against the pale, clean lines of the display base. A wooden lever rests against the side, ready for adjustment. Shadows stretch softly across the floor, marking the precise angle of the first light. One grain of wheat rests on the edge of the hopper.
