(10) Fine Etched Terracotta Spindle Whorl Beads, Collectible African Beads

Description

(10) SELECT CONTEMPORARY ETCHED TERRACOTTA SPINDLE WHORL BEADS.
These interesting artifacts are hand made spindle whorls, such as have been used in Mali for centuries in the spinning of yarn. The exact age of these beads is not known, but they are probably
much more contemporary
, based on their appearance. They are made of clay (terracotta), run about 7/8" - 1" in diameter and length, have
nice etching,
and are in very good condition with minimal wear from age or use. Over the years whorls have been collected and strung for use as jewelry, as is being done today. These are
"type photos"
not the actual beads you will receive, but the ones you get will be similar in size and quality. (I offer 1-day shipping as a matter of course, and often ship the same day payment is received. I figure once you've paid for something, you own it, and might as well have it as soon as possible.)
