Description: | A complete cast lead spindle whorl, dating from the Medieval - Post Medieval period, between AD 1400 - 1600 (diameter: 28.5mm; thickness: 14mm; weight: 40.1g). This spindle whorl is circular in plan and bi-conical in section with a central circular drilled hole (diameter of hole: 10.5mm) for the probable wooden spindle to run through. The artefact is decorated on both sides with raised irregular linear zigzag markings, which separate pellets between them (there is approximately eight to ten divided pellets to either side. Additionally, there is an infrequent linear ridge that appears to partly run around the circumference of the spindle whorl. The artefact is in a worn but fair 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
