Spindle Whorl

Cleveland Museum of Art

Green jade spindle whorl with a large central hole. The whorl is round and flat with a donut-like shape. The jade has a smooth, glossy surface with a subtle sheen. The central hole is circular and has a raised rim. There are several small holes of varying sizes around the whorl's edge. The whorl features carved designs, including small circles and curved lines. The background of the image is a solid gray color. The whorl appears to be an ancient artifact, likely of Chinese origin, by artist unknown.
