Description: | LeadPossible Spindle Whorl. Cast biconvex whorl with traces of central aperture of diameter 9.5mm. This has been enlarged to a flat iron shape, probably by the insertion of a metal shank; this operation may also have resulted in the flattening of one side of the whorl. This modification may indicate the whorl was reused as a bolster or counterweight for a tool handle, with its shank or tang protruding. Suggested date: Possibly Post-Medieval, 1500-1800.Diameter: 26.1mm, Thickness: 7.6mm, Weight: 24.82gms.
