AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Spindle (or spinner) - a weight in the form of a disk or a low cylinder with a through hole along the longitudinal axis, used to weight the hand spindle and fasten the yarn on it. Spindles were made of stone, clay, and lead/tin. Due to their small size and strength, spindle whorls are well preserved, and they are often found during archaeological excavations.

Please take a good look at the photos, they are part of the description.
They provide a clear picture of the quality and condition of the product and they fill in any gaps in the text or correct any errors and are decisive for the description of the product.
