Description: | A damaged but mostly complete lead alloy spindle whorl dating from the medieval to post-medieval period. The spindle whorl is sub-circular in plan, with a central, circular perforation extending vertically through the object. The sides of the spindle whorl are slightly convex and have a repeating pattern of vertical grooves and ridges. There are four lozenge-shaped mouldings attached to the corners of the object; there is a pronounced seam around the girth of the object and is representative of the manufacturing technique. Two similar spindle whorls have been recorded on this database (BH-3C4232 and BH-570998). The probably date from c. 1200-1600 AD.
