Spindle whorl 5th-3rd millennium B.C. Iran This stone spindle whorl, now broken in half, was excavated in 1937 at a prehistoric site in the vicinity of Nishapur in northeastern Iran. While Nishapur itself was founded by the Sasanian king Shapur I (reigned ca. A.D. 241-272), this whorl shows that human habitation there goes back to the prehistoric period. Furthermore, the prehistoric pottery from Nishapur has close affinities with ceramic materials from Central Asia rather than with contemporary sites in Iran, meaning that in this period its inhabitants were likely culturally linked to their neighbors to the east. At the same time, Nishapurs location on what later became known as the Great Khorasan Road suggests that it was part of the trade network that facilitated the import of precious stones such as lapis lazuli, carnelian and turquoise from Central Asia to Mesopotamia.Spindle whorls were used to make thread. A dowel was inserted through the hole, to which plant fibers or wool were

British oology, Newcastle upon Tyne, Published for the author by C. Empson, 1833-1838, Great Britain, birds, eggs, osprey, fish hawk, falco haliaeetus, The composition features two distinct eggs displayed side by side. The top egg exhibits a unique speckled pattern, showcasing a range of earthy tones and irregular markings, highlighting its natural texture. The bottom egg is more uniformly shaped, with a smoother surface and subtle variations in color that suggest a biological origin. Both specimens are presented in a manner that emphasizes their round forms and organic characteristics, inviting a closer examination of their details and similarities. The arrangement highlights the beauty and diversity found in the natural world, particularly in the realm of avian or reptilian eggs.

Memorial stone. The tombstone-like appearance of this rock is fitting, as it is made from mass ammonite grave. These extinct marine animals are distant relatives of living squids and nautiloids. Ammonites, like squids, probably propelled themselves using muscular constrictions to expel jets of water while air chambers in these complex shells controlled their buoyancy.
