Description: | Cast lead spindle whorl from the Medieval period. It is slightly darker than usual, suggesting some tin is in the metal. It is bi-conical in shape and has a central circular perforation. It is decorated on both sides with cast decoration in the usual star and dot pattern. A dot in each point of the star and also on the outside of the star. This type of object has been used for centuries but this pattern would suggest a Medieval date.
