Description: | A lead alloy spindle whorl of Medieval date, about 1200 - 1600. It is bi-convex with a thickened median rib and a circular central aperture which is 11.2mm in diameter. There is a cavity in the side wall of the hole. Both faces are decorated; one with regular raised radiating ribs with a pellet in each division thus created. The other face is similar but the ribs form triangles, chevons and a X. The whorl has a thick white patina and some patinated dents.
