Spindle whorls, made from clay and stone, found in the Dogon area of Mali ...
used originally as weights for traditional cotton spinning. Somewhat fragile but very interesting.
Examples have been found that were in use before 1,000 BC. The individual original patterns are still visible on many of these beads despite their previous long term usage.
For those of you who would like to buy single examples for use in spinning or for display, we offer these superb selected examples with clearly visible and uniquely hand-carved patterns.
