Description: | A lead decorated spindle whorl, flattish biconical in shape measuring 34mm in diameter and 12mm in thickness. There is a central circular perforation which is 13mm in diameter. This spindle whorl is decorated on both faces with an inner ring of raised oval knops and an outer ring of slanting longditudinal raised lines. Decorated spindle whorls are difficult to date and those decorated with raised dots, zig-zags and lines have been found in both Roman and medieval context (Geake 2001, 66). This spindle whorl could therefore dat to any time between the Roman and Medieval periods.
