Description: | LeadPossible Spindle Whorl. Cast biconvex whorl with central aperture ranging in diameter from 4.8mm to 6mm, which is unusually small for such an object. The object bears the mutilated remnants of cast decoration of lines and pellets on both its surfaces, again normal characteristics of lead whorls, though these are obscured by abrasion, hammering and perhaps partial melting. The object may have been reused for some distinct purpose, perhaps as a line weight. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1600.Diameter: 27mm, Thickness: 18.5mm, Weight: 51.34gms.
