Description
From the historical region of Palestine, specifically Sbaita, comes this finely incised bone spindle whorl, an artifact dated between the 5th and 8th centuries AD. This piece, measuring 2.4 cm in diameter and 0.8 cm in thickness, represents the utility and artistry of the period. The whorl's intricate patterns not only served a functional purpose but also display the aesthetic sensibilities of their time. The use of bone, a material chosen for its density and workability, underscores the object's lasting durability. This spindle whorl provides a tangible link to the textile industries of early medieval societies and would be an esteemed asset to any collection of ancient implements or Levantine artifacts.
