Description: | Decorated lead spindle whorl, biconvex in shape, 26 mm in diameter and 15 mm thick, with a central perforation which flares slightly from 8.5 mm in diameter at one end to 10 mm in diameter at the other. It is decorated with a narrow raised seam around the junction of the two halves, over which are seven relief lozenges. It weighs 40.76g (1.44 oz). There is controversy about the dating of decorated lead spindle whorls - they may possibly be Roman, but are more likely to be medieval. | 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 | Temporal: | 1066
