Description: | A lead alloy medieval spindle whorl. It is biconical in section with a thickened median rib. Each face is decorated with 3 or 4 raised radial ribs, raised pellets round the central aperture, and a raise circular line near the edge. The central hole is 10.6mm in diameter and there is no visible cavity in the side wall. The whorl has a dusty grey patina. Spindle whorls are very difficult to date, but the type with raised dots and lines are thought to be medieval.
