Description: | A complete cast lead spindle whorl of medieval to post-medieval date. The spindle whorl is circular and both sides are flat. The object is undecorated.The metal is a mid brownish-grey colour and is worn. The spindle whorl weighs 9.6g.Cast lead alloy whorls are difficult to date with any certainty and are known to have been in use from the Roman to post-medieval period. The lack of decoration on this example makes it difficult to narrow the date of this whorl with confidence although it is most likely to be later medieval to early post-medieval. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
