This amber whorl, imported from the Roman Empire, was discovered in the grave of a woman buried in Czarnówko at the end of 1 B.C. It is interpreted as a tool with symbolic meaning that was probably related to ancient beliefs in the goddesses of fate - Kloto, Lachesis and Atropo - spinning the thread of life. This object suggests that some peoples of Barbaricum adopted Roman beliefs and perhaps customs.
