Description: | A Medieval lead spindle whorl dating from c. 1100-1500.This cast lead discoidal spindle whorl had a central hole with a diameter of 11.78mm. It has a creamy patina speckled with brown giving it a dull or matte appearance. Although the spindle whorl is worn and very plain there is an incised line running all the way around it at an equal distance between the rim of the central hole and the edge of the spindle whorl. This line only appears on one side. On the same side as this drawn line the lead around one half of the outer edge has the appearance of being folded over slightly.
