Description: | Cast lead alloy spindle whorl or weight; ring with hexagonal section, each side decorated originally with six evenly spaced raised pellets. One side has a large area of damage, obliterating one of the pellets, and flattening another three. On the edge, opposite the area of damage, there are two protruding spikes of what appears to be iron - perhaps the remains of a suspension loop, which would suggest this is more likely to be a weight than a spindle whorl. Probably post medieval/modern. Length (including iron spiked and damage) 35.84mm, width 32.35mm, thickness 12.90mm, weight 56.02g.
