Description: | Well-made lead spindle whorl, 35 mm in diameter and 11 mm thick. Plano-convex in shape (with one flat face and one rounded face), the flat face is actually slightly concave as it slopes up towards the central perforation. This flares from 10.5 mm in diameter at the rounded face to 13.5 mm in diameter at the flat face. It weighs 77.4g, which is rather heavy for a spindle whorl; these weighs may have had different uses as well. Although their date is unknown, there is a suspicion that they may be post-medieval. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
