Description: | A cast lead spindle whorl probably dating from the medieval period, about 1100-1500 AD. The whorl is plano-convex. One side is decorated with triangles made up of three small dots; the other with a series of small dots separated by short, straight lines. There is a small hole in the wall of the central perforation where the whorl would have been fixed to the spindle. The whorl is 28.7mm in diameter and 12.4mm thick. It weighs 46.08gm.
