Description: | Lead Spindle Whorl. Cast plano-convex whorl with an off-centre aperture tapering from 11mm to 8mm diameter, widest on the flat upper (as whorl was used) surface. It is uncertain whether surface irregularities may mark a decorative scheme, or damage in antiquity; patina extends over all visible surfaces. The atypical mass may indicate this was used to ply cord rather than a lighter textile thread.Walton Rogers Class A1. Suggested date: early Medieval, 800-1100.Diameter: 35.4mm, Height: 16.6mm, Weight: 92.71gms.
