1980s metal pin of prialka (приалки), an ancient tool of Russian distaff used in spinning. Known as distaff in Europe, prialka is designed to hold the unspun fibers, keeping them untangled and thus easing the spinning process. In terms of their shapes and décor, prialkas are unique even among other Slavic nations and were used in Russia up until the 1930s
