Whorl

Description

White on black ceramic spindle whorl with incised geometric design typical of the period. The white decoration is thought to be a paste which was used to infill the incisions. Spindle whorls are often found in grave contexts suggesting that there was a connection between the importance of domestic implements and the afterlife (Knapp, 1999). Bronze Age.
