Description: | leadSpindle Whorl, as identified by finder. Cast plano-convex whorl with a central perforation tapering from diameter 12.3mm to 8.6mm. Faint scratches visible beneath patination appear to be casually executed decoration; this includes a grid of horizontal and vertical lines and other vertical, horizontal and occasionally diagonal lines; these do not, however, form discernible characters, though runic inscriptions occasionally occur on whorls. The form is more angular than that of most plano-convex whorls. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 850-1100. Diameter: 31.4mm, Height: 11.2mm, Weight: 40.91gms.
