Spindle Whorl

Cleveland Museum of Art

The spindle whorl by an unknown artist is a circular object with a hole in the center. The object is made of dark brown material, possibly stone or wood, with a lighter brown color around the edges. The surface features carved designs in a lighter color, with some areas appearing shiny and reflective. The designs are intricate and symmetrical, with curved lines and shapes extending outwards from the central hole. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The object appears to be an ancient artifact, likely used for spinning fibers. The overall shape and design suggest a functional and decorative piece.
