Spindle Whorl

Cleveland Museum of Art

The spindle whorl by unknown artist is a dark olive green, circular object with a hole in the center. The object is made of glass and has a smooth, glossy surface with small bumps and imperfections on it. The color is darker on the top half and lighter on the bottom half. The background of the image is gray. The object appears to be a spindle whorl, which is a type of tool used for spinning fibers into yarn. It has a rounded shape with a circular hole in the center and a slightly raised edge around the hole. The surface of the object has a few small bubbles and imperfections, giving it a slightly textured appearance.
