Thanks Guys I thought it was (A drop spindle) Learnt that from Romanian Postage Stamps. just the stick like thing going to a blob of wool, makes no sense. Just bad engraving perhaps.
Nicest example I found (support spindle) was by this lovely Navajo woman.
the woman in the stamp has a classic antique Greek style.(spinning the universe)So could be a symbol of a thread spinner found in many cultures. http://www.kws.atlantia.sca.org/dieties.html
Fascinating hypothesis, Spinning the universe, I like that.
Wynchombe (England) received a message from that spinning, a message that took 4.67 Billion years to arrive, at their front driveway. (Started before our universe began) https://www.bbc.com/news/science-en...ent-56326246
