Description: | A lead alloy possible weight of Early Medieval ro Medieval date. It is a thin disc of lead alloy with a central hole. One face is marked with five deep incised lines radiating from the centre, and there is a central punched baluster shaped mark in three of the resulting sections. There is a short deep notch near the central hole in one of the other sections, The other face is crazed where the disc has been bent, damaging the patina, and there is an area of grey colouration near one edge, possibly the remains of solder attaching the disc to a larger object. The disc has a well developed cream patina. It is 22.8mm in diameter and 2.25mm thick. 7.13g. The object seems too thin to be a spindle whorl. It has some similarities with SF-394A15, identified as a medieval weight.
