Description: | A complete cast lead spindle whorl, dating from the Roman - Post Medieval period, between AD 43 - 1600 (diameter: 27.5mm; thickness: 8mm; weight: 32.2g). This spindle whorl is circular in plan and conical in section with a central circular drilled hole (diameter of hole: 9mm) for the probable wooden spindle to run through. The artefact is decorated on the conical side by three circular and concentric stepped raised platforms, which get smaller in diameter as they reach the central drilled hole at the top. The bottom of the spindle whorl is flat and undecorated. The artefact is in a very worn and poor condition. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Johnson, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
