Description: | A complete cast lead medieval spindle whorl. The slightly plano convex spindle whorl has a central circular hole with a diameter of 11.2mm. Both faces are decorated differently. On one face has a five point star with a pellet both on and between each point. The other face has a four arm cross, each arm made up of three stands and in each angle of the cross is a pellet. On area on this face the face is blundered and has a point from a star. This may be a flaw in the manufacture as the rest of the design looks very symmetrical. The external diameter is 31.8mm, the thickness is 13.0mm and the weight is 55.32g.
