Fouteen spindle whorls threaded on handspun cotton yarn; six are convexly conical, of incised black on orange ceramic; one is flat ceramic disc; four are globular or conical stone (?), these are green (three) and yellow (one). One of the green is half missing and two are decorated with drilled, dotted circles. The yellow is plain. Two whorls are made of yellow shell; one truncated biconical whorl is made of metal and is now covered in green deposit. All whorls have a central hole.
Spindle whorl comprised of a round, wooden disc with a small hole in its centre. Flat dorsal surface and slightly convex ventral surface. The convex surface is engraved with an anthropomorphic bird figure with lines radiating from around its body. The head and torso are human-like, but the legs and wings are bird-like.
Small, flat, disc-shaped spindle whorl with central hole. Made of laminated wood (three layers) with no surface decoration. Five small holes, stained black at their edges from contact with metal, surround the central hole. Yellow-brown in colour.
The apparatus consists of a light yellow-brown wood piece with a y-shape having two perpendicular sticks at either sides near the pointed end. This piece is connected with the fibre to a darker brown thin cylindrical piece that has a flattened rounded knob at one end and a tear-drop shaped knob at the other end with a conical base.
Wooden spindle whorl (parts a-b), consisting of a disc with central hole (a) and long wooden spindle (b). Raised lip around opening on convex ventral surface of whorl; dorsal surface is flat. Decorated on the convex surface with images, in pencil, of two whales and a human figure. One of the whales also has a small human figure depicted on its back. The spindle shaft narrows at each end, and one end is wider than the other.
Reddish brown whorl with a band of geometric linear design and several plain rings. Has a red ribbon and three brass tubular beads fastened to the centre.
Plain wooden spindle (part b) with one pointed end with a whorl (part a) attached near it; the whorl has three small, shallowly carved designs arranged around the central hole and is slightly dished.
Spindle (parts a-b) consisting of a cylindrical wooden shaft (part a) with pointed ends. Positioned near the top end is a disc-shaped whorl (part b) which is roughly circular with indenting sides.
Spindles (parts e-g) consisting of thin pieces of wood, pointed at each end. All parts have a small, decorative whorl. Part e has a yellow, red and white stripe design on either side of a mushroom shaped whorl. The whorl is black with a white and yellow circular design on top as well as a red circular and white and yellow diamond shape design on the bottom. Part f has a black painted section on either side of a spherical shape whorl detailed with black and red stripes. Part g has dark and light brown cotton thread wrapped around either side of a cylindrical shaped whorl. The whorl is decorated with a green, orange and white stylized human head wearing a headdress.
