Description: | Crudely made donut-shaped lead weight. One side is decorated with a line zigzagging from centre to rim to create a star-shaped pattern with dots in the spaces, and the other side is decorated with the same pattern but appears much fainter.
It is not clear what this weight has been used for, but a common use as spindle whorl or perhaps weight for fishing nets is suggested. | 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: | 1100
