Description: | Cast lead-alloy weight of double-conical shape. While one side is decorated with an erratic pattern of zigzag, the other side is more interesting: in between dots in relief, there appear to be the shapes of three animals: a jumping goat, a bird and one unidentified creature. Usually, the decoration on these lead weights, commonly known as 'spindle whorls' consists of dots, lines or very rarely, floral ornament. Anything more elaborate than that is highly unusual. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
