Description: | A complete cast lead spindle whorl, dating from the Medieval - Post Medieval period, between AD 1400 - 1600 (diameter: 31.5mm; thickness: 9mm; weight: 34.1g). This spindle whorl is circular in plan and bi-conical in section with a central circular drilled hole (diameter of hole: 9.5mm) for the probable wooden spindle to run through. The artefact is decorated on both sides with faintly raised irregular and slanted linear markings, which radiate outwards from the central hole. The artefact is in a worn but fair condition. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Johnson, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
