This terracotta spindle whorl, measuring 4.5 x 3.5 cm, features a rosette pattern and dates back to the Near East in the 4th millennium BCE. The rosette, a design often associated with fertility and the divine feminine, suggests its use in the production of textiles was deeply intertwined with cultural rituals. Spindle whorls were critical to the spinning of wool and plant fibers, forming the backbone of early textile industries. This piece offers insights into the daily lives and practices of its ancient creators, reflecting both utilitarian purpose and aesthetic expression.
