Description: | A cast lead spindle whorl of probable Medieval or later date. It is conical in form with flattened base and central circular aperture. The outer edges of the whorl have extensive moulded decoration comprising seven vertical ribs spaced around the exterior surfaces running from base to top of the whorl. An uneven transverse band is visible running between the vertical ribs around the base of the whorl. The entire object measures 13.15mm in height, 24.77mm in diameter and 34.98g in weight. This whorl is of probable Medieval date, c.12th-15th centuries AD, although a later or earlier date cannot be ruled out entirely.
