Spinning Whorl

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Spinning Whorl by unknown artist is a small, rounded object with a domed top and flat base. The object features a reddish-brown color with visible wear and tear, giving it a weathered appearance. It has a series of decorative lines and patterns etched into its surface, including a band of interlocking circles around the middle. The object is positioned on a gray background, with a slight shadow underneath it. The overall shape of the object is symmetrical and smooth, with no sharp edges or points. The surface of the object appears to be made of a rough, possibly ceramic or stone material. The object is centered in the image, taking up most of the frame.
