Description: | Cast lead alloy spindle whorl, medieval in date (c AD1250-1500). The whorl is circular in plan with an oval cross section. There is a slightly off centre perforation hole, measuring 11mm in diameter. Both sides are decorated with a sunburst series of lines and pellets. On both sides of the whorl the outer edge is folded in slightly to form a raised 'lip' to both surfaces. Both faces are worn. The object has a grey to beige patchy patina and is in fair condition.
