EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Iron Age - a spindle whorl with its surviving wooden spindle, discovered in Hallstatt. The intricate craftsmanship and historical significance of this piece are truly awe-inspiring. Used to spin thread, these whorls were essential tools in the ancient art of weaving. They represent not only the ingenuity of our ancestors but also their deep connection to nature and resourcefulness. The delicate carvings on the wooden spindle reveal a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of Celtic culture during that time. Preserved by the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK, this relic offers us an invaluable window into our past.
