Kokertje met drie gaten in de topwand en één gat in het midden, versierd met drie ringbanden c. 1590 - 1596

This wooden spool, dated c. 1590-1596, is an anonymous work housed in the Rijksmuseum. The spool, a crucial tool in textile production, is crafted from wood and features a cylindrical shape with a distinctive open top for thread. The intricate carvings and three rings embellishing the spool are indicative of the attention to detail and craftsmanship prevalent in the late 16th century. This object serves as a valuable glimpse into the practices and materials used in the Dutch textile industry during this period.
