Description: | A cast lead alloy possible spindle whorl. The whorl is discoidal and flat, with a thickened, raised and rounded rim on both faces. It is thinner than most spindle whorls. There is a large central hole through the whorl, with a diameter of 12mm. There are two notches in the edge of this hole. One face is decorated with a design of 8 radiating petal shapes marked by raised lines in relief. The design is similar to that found on medieval ampullae and tokens. The reverse does not appear to be decorated. A medieval date is most likely, but no close parallel has been found.
