Description: | Hemispherical lead spindle whorl, dome flattened (slight overhang), creating two flat surfaces. Central perforation 5mm diam at flattened dome and 6mm at other surface, which has a wide (2mm) and deep curvilinear incision around a third of the face. A small piece of lead that juts out is not a casting fault but the result of the lead being gouged and pushed out, probably by mistake and possibly while cutting the deep incision. Diam 18-10mm, thickness 9mm, weighing 17.60g. Medieval or post-medieval. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
