Description: | A complete cast lead spindle whorl, probably late medieval to early post medieval in date (c AD 1300-1700). It is bi-conical, with a circular central perforation measuring 8.8mm in diameter. Both faces are domed. One face is decorated with a series of 13 raised pellets separated by a series of diagonal lines. The second face is decorated with radiating lines at the edges of the whorl. The object is in good condition and has a light brown patina.Similar examples of spindle whorls have been found in contexts from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period. However most are typically dated to the Medieval period.
