Description: | A cast lead alloy spindle whorl, probably dating from the late medieval or early post-medieval period, AD 1400 - 1600. It is plano-convex, with a circular, central perforation and a median ridge. There is an indentation in the inner wall of the perforation. Both upper and lower surfaces are decorated with a pattern of lines and pellets; on one surface the lines create four rectangular panels, on the other side they appear to be random. The whorl is 30.3mm in diameter and 12.7mm thick. It weighs 44.73gm.
