Description: | Worn, lead spindle whorl. The spindle whorl is circular in plan and oval in section. It has a central circular perforation through its length. The object has been cast with a series of crude raised dots around the circumference of one surface and presumably the opposite surface, though this is worn beyond recognition. The lead has a chalky white appearance. The spindle whorl is 27.68mm in diameter, 13.02mm thick and weighs 58.95g. This spindle whorl could be Roman to medieval in date as decorated spindle whorls have been discovered in Roman, Saxon and Medieval contexts and there is no supporting evidence to narrow the 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 | Temporal: | 43
