Each face is decorated with a series of moulded linear ridges and pellets. The object has a light white patina. Both faces show signs of wear.Similar examples of spindle whorls have reportedly been found in contexts dated from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period although the majority are typically dated broadly to the Medieval period c.1066-1500.
