These reddish brown spindle whorls are made of heated clay. They look like abacus beads and have a hole with a diameter of 0.5 cm in the center. One of the four spindle whorls features a striped pattern similar to the shape of fan spokes. These items attest to the intricate weaving culture of the prehistoric period.
