Description: | A lead spindle whorl biconical in shape with a diameter of 27mm and a thickness of 12mm, and a central circular perforation. It is decorated with moulded zig-zags with dots inbetween them on both faces. Lead spindle whorls are difficult to date and are found in mainly Medieval contexts, although they are known from the Roman period onwards. As this one has been found in the same spot as an Anglo-Saxon small long brooch there is a possiblility that it is also of Anglo-Saxon date, but no Anglo-Saoxn parallels could be found to allow this date to be more than a tenataive suggestion. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
