African Natural Clay Sunburst Spindle Whorl Bead 22-24mm

Hand made from clay and featuring natural swirls of color, these spindle whole beads bring warmth, texture, and a sense of history to your jewelry designs. Originally used as spindle whorls in weaving—placed on spindles to assist in spinning thread—these pieces were often repurposed over time into beads, later used in ceremonial adornment, trade, and as symbols of status throughout African cultures.
