Description: | A cast lead alloy spindle whorl with ring and dot decoration, dating from the late medieval period. It has two flat faces and its central perforation, which has a slightly raised lip on each side, measures 7.6mm. Each face is decorated with five ring and dot motifs, which are not quite equally spaced. The surface has flaked off the object in several places. Lead spindle whorls were made from the Roman period onwards, but decorated examples generally date from the late medieval period. | 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: | 1400
