Description: | Lead Spindle Whorl. Cast whorl with a larger top face and a smaller bottom face, and with a central moulded aperture of diameter 7.8mm, Walton Rogers form A2. Patinated overall, with a deepdistorting dent in one side. The small aperture would admit the possibility of a Middle Saxon date, though such objects are also common from Anglo-Scandinavian contexts. The mass may suggest the object would be best used to ply a cord. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 700-1000.Diameter: 29mm, Thickness: 11mm, Weight: 50.63gms.
