Description: | Cast lead spindle whorl of Medieval date, c.1066-1500 AD. Circular in plan with central perforation. The whorl is 32 mm in diameter with a thickness of 10 mm. The obverse shows raised decoration of eight pellets or dots spaced between the lines of a radiating sunburst pattern. The reverse face also shows a radiating sunburst pattern but it is much more worn and only seven pellets remain visible. The pellets are much closer together than the obverse. At an estimate the reverse would have originally had 16 pellets. Mid grey in colour. Weight: 26.6 grams. Recorded at Baddiley Rally 2008.
