In this image, we are transported to a time when spinning wheels were at the heart of commerce and trade. The spinner depicted here is deeply engrossed in her occupation, skillfully working with the wheel before her. Her hands move swiftly, expertly transforming raw materials into fine threads that will later be used for various purposes.
