Spindle Whorl

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Spindle Whorl by Unknown is a circular object with a large central hole. The object is made of a light brown material, possibly wood or bone, and has a glossy finish. It is carved with a pattern of raised designs around its outer edge. The designs appear to be floral or geometric in nature. The object is symmetrical, with the same pattern repeated around its entire circumference. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
