So I've got all my bone spindle whorls in one place.
Take a look at the size range of all these beads/whorls.
Some look small enough to spin a spiders web.
My main question is....what is the use of the threaded ones???
How does size of whorl indicate??.
And.....do I have to many??

I have seen these coming from Afghanistan. I was told that they were used in an abacus.
