Description: | An complete lead spindle whorl of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is formed from two flattened, truncated cones, joined at the base with a hole through the centre. This hole has become enlarged on one side presumably during use. Both faces are decorated with raised parallel lines and crosses. The surface is worn, whitish grey in colour and pitted in places. Decorated spindle whorls are likely to date from the Medieval period up to the 16th century.Diameter: 25.0mm, thickness: 11.0mm, weight: 30.33g
