Description: | Miscast lead alloy weight dating from the Late Medieval period, c. 15th/16th century. Usually these objects, commonly known as 'spindle whorls', are of double-conical shape and decorated with dots, cross or lines in relief. The perforation in the centre of the weight would have been 7-9 mm in diameter. This lead weight is flat on the reverse and only the obverse shows some of the decoration; the perforation is filled with lead and it was quite obviously a miscast weight. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
