Description: | LeadSpindle Whorl. Cast biconvex whorl with central moulded aperture of diameter 9.6mm. A decorative design of triangles and pellets appears on both sides, with a heavily moulded rim separating them. On one side the pellets, which are invariably fewer than the triangles, are enclosed within them; on the other side, pellets mostly interrupt triangles. Judging from its mass, this whorl would probably be used to ply cord. Both sides have been deeply gouged, most such damage being recent. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1600.Diameter: 32.0mm, Thickness: 12.3mm, Weight: 52.26gms.
