Description: | Lead spindle whorl dating to the Medieval period c.1100-1500.This complete cast lead circular spindle whorl is biconical, with a central hole with a diameter of 9.65mm. The spindle whorl is worn with a light cream coloured patina. This patina is not present around the rim of the central hole which is grey with a shiny appearance. Although the spindle whorl is worn there is clear cast decoration. The relief decoration consists of lines from the centre to the outer edge splitting the surface into nine areas with three raised dots in each area, this pattern is repeated on both sides. One area of the edge has been slightly damaged giving the appearance of an extra bit of lead patching up the edge.
