Spindle Whorl

Cleveland Museum of Art

The "Spindle Whorl" by Anonymous is a circular object with a large central hole. The object is made of stone or ceramic material and has a reddish-pink color with tan accents. It has a raised outer edge and a smooth, glossy finish. There are nine smaller circular indentations around the outer edge, each with a smaller hole in the center. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
