Description: | A complete cast lead spindle whorl, dating from the Medieval - Post Medieval period, between AD 1400 - 1600 (diameter: 30.5mm; thickness: 14mm; weight: 42.4g). 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 raised linear marking representing a six-petal flower radiating outwards from the central hole with a single pellet within each of these arched formations. There are infrequent linear markings and pellets outside of the flower formation. The artefact is in a worn and poor condition with some corrosion along the outside edge. | 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
