Description: | A complete lead alloy spindle whorl, possibly of medieval date.The object is circular in plan with a central, circular perforation. Both faces are flat although there is a slight bend in the object. There is decoration on both sides which consists of small isosceles triangles spaced around the perforation. These are a light brown colour which contrasts with the white patina on the rest of the object. Spindle whorls similar to this example were in use from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period and therefore it is difficult to assign a narrow date range of use.
