Description: | LeadSpindle Whorl. Cast flat cylindrical whorl with a central aperture of diameter 9mm. A cast decorative design comprises a prominent rim on both sides, with a combination of triangles and pellets on one side, and a series of eight curving ribs radiating from the central hole on the other. The decoration anticipates that of Post-Medieval biconical whorls, but the cylindrical form may suggest a slightly earlier date, and this whorl is lighter than many examples. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1400-1500.Diameter: 34mm, Height: 8mm, Weight: 37.36gms.
