Description: | Conical decorated lead spindle whorl. The base is sub-circular, 20-22 mm in diameter, and slightly rounded. The whorl is 10 mm tall, and is decorated with seven vertical ribs with a single pellet at the bottom between each rib. The slightly off-centre perforation is 6 mm in diameter and does not appear to flare. The whorl weighs 20.15g (0.71 oz). There is controversy about the dating of decorated lead spindle whorls - they may possibly be Roman, but are more likely to be medieval.
