Description: | A small, bi-conical perforated lead weight, with a flat top and base. The hole which runs through the centre of the weight has a circular section. These weighs are not yet completely understood. It is possible they could have been spindle whorls dating from the post-medieval period, but due to a lack of excavated examples and lack of context this remains uncertain. One hemisphere of the weight is decorated with lines that radiate out from the centre, the other is decorated with a series of pellets. The weight is complete. The lead is a light whitish-grey colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
