Round thing with hole in it.....

[curious kat]

Here's a closer view of the round thing that has a hole through it. Anyone know what it's for? Darn, forgot to take a pic of the bottom, but it's just flat with nothing there. And yes, the hole goes all the way through.

Looks like a bead to me if that tape is cm. It's fine for sure

Google Mexican Beads/Spindle Whorls and you will see lots of pics just like this one. I'm pretty sure that is what this is.

Here's a link from some on Ebay. Some of these are old, but then again some are fairly new.

You would think it would be worth more than that in $. I say keep it on the shelf its value is in enjoying the view of it. I wouldnt sell it for that little ever. Looks mighty nice to me.

Yes, agree rock....wouldn't sell any of the things like this, donate at some point but not sell. This was found in the mountains above San Bernardino CA, so must be from a tribe that would maybe "summer" there?
