Spindle Whorl

Cleveland Museum of Art

Round, flat, light-brown object with a hole in the center. The object is made of stone or bone. It has a series of concentric circles carved into it, with lines and dots etched into the surface. The circles are of varying sizes, with the largest one in the center. There are also several smaller circles and dots scattered throughout the design. The object appears to be a spindle whorl, which is a type of tool used for spinning yarn or thread. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
