Description: | A lead alloy cricular spindle whorl with a convexed profile. The base of the whorl is flat and a hole perforates the centre of the object.
Spindle whorls and weights are difficult to date without contextual information, and may date anywhere between the Roman and Post-medieval periods, when use of the spinning wheel became widespread.
This spindle whorl measures 30.15mm diameter, 8.73mm thick and weighs 40.8gms. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Byard, Anni - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
