Description: | A slightly incomplete cast lead spindle whorl, dating from the Medieval - Post Medieval period, between AD 1400 - 1600 (diameter: 28mm; thickness: 13.5mm; weight: 34.5g). This spindle whorl is circular in plan and bi-conical in section with a central circular drilled hole (diameter of hole: 10mm) for the probable wooden spindle to run through. The artefact is decorated on both sides with irregular and raised linear markings, which in turn divide irregularly placed pellets with approximately eight pellets to each side of the spindle whorl. The artefact is in a worn, poor and slightly corroded condition. | 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
