Ancient Late Cypriot III Schist Spindle Whorl, 1200–1050 BCE

Item Details

Description

This remarkable schist spindle whorl hails from the Late Cypriot III period, between 1200 and 1050 BCE. The whorl, with a diameter of 2 cm and a height of 0.6 cm, is incised with patterns characteristic of the era. Its dark material stands out with the contrasting incised decoration, which may have been both functional for grip and symbolic. Schist, known for its flaky, durable nature, was a popular material for such everyday items, which have stood the test of time. This piece is not just a utilitarian object but also a canvas that carries the aesthetic sensibilities of the ancient Cypriot culture. It is a quintessential artifact for enthusiasts of ancient textile tools and the cultural heritage of Cyprus.
