Images in {{bib|Pauli 1888}}: Taf. XI, fig. 1 (drawings).

Double-conical spindle whorl made of reddish brown clay with a dotted zig-zag pattern on one section; weight: 45 g. The object was part of the Forrer Collection in Strassbourg when Pauli published it in {{bib|Pauli 1888|1888}}; its current whereabouts are unknown. Pauli (p. 44) reports that the object (together with [[MI·11 Milano]]) was found in or near Milano; nothing was known to him about the exact find place and circumstance, but they came to Forrer threaded on a piece of string with further spindle whorls. Pauli assumes that they were part of a necklace from a burial. See also {{bib|Molinari 1974}}: 68.
