Condition The spindle whorl appears to be complete in form. The surface is well worn and pitted.
Description A small, bulbous spindle whorl is preserved. The top face is flat around the bore hole and is damaged slightly. The walls then gradually become wider in thickness as they descend from the top face. A rounded bevel is visible, near the base of the spindle whorl, where the fabric is at its thickest in width. The fabric then tapers in thickness until it meets a flat face surrounding the bore hole of the base.
