Description: | Circular lead weight, probably a worn spindle whorl dating to the medieval period. The weight is smooth and undecorated on the underside and is slightly rougher on the top side although it is difficult to make out any particular design. The weight is flat with a sub-rectangular section and has a large circular central perforation. One section of the edge of the spindle whorl has worn thinner that the rest, possibly where yarns have been. The whorl weighs 19.09g and measures 25.1mm in diameter and 6.6mm in thickness. | 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: | 1200
