JKP- possibly, but look at the images Wladimir posted. There is one version of this object where it is extended, with spike at the end, and another where it is held behind the back, without spike.
If this were a full spindle, the only option I see is that it got broken and hence hidden behind the back, which would imply some serious narrative thread (no pun intended) throughout the folios. If we see it as a torch or Diane's measuring device, we could read them as an active and a disabled version respectively.
