Object card: 1969. Mission archéologique française de Kition-Salamine (MOM, Lyon), Nakala, SAL_5329. "Biconical spindle whorl, Sanctuary, square K V/η6". CC BY 4.0. Resized.
Complete biconical spindle whorl of terracotta with a grey surface, unpainted and undecorated, from square K V/η6 in the Sanctuary at Salamis; H. 2.2 cm, ø 2.5 cm, central vertical hole ø 0.5 cm. Found at the edge of a 6th-century pit, it may come from that pit, but may equally belong to the Late Cypro-Geometric III period (White Painted and Bichrome III) in which the pit was dug, perhaps. Inventory Po_0445; 2 October 1969.

sans décor. — Le contexte ne donne pas de date certaine : la fusaïole, trouvée au bord d'une fosse du VIe s., peut provenir de cette fosse, mais peut aussi bien appartenir au milieu chypro-géométrique III (White Painted et Bichrome III) dans lequel la fosse a été creusée.
— Terre cuite, surface grisâtre
