Exhibit Label
Spirit of the Ancestors-Many Coast Salish artists have been inspired by old spindle whorls in museum collections. These flat wooden disks were used as flywheels on the spindle shaft, while spinning mountain goat wool. This design is taken directly from an old spindle whorl from the Emmons collection in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
