The central perforation flares gently from 8 mm at one end to 10 mm at the other. All surfaces are covered with irregularly set concentric grooves, apart from a small area around each end of the perforation. The whorl weighs 21.5g. Whorls are very hard to date. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
