Description: | Lead Spindle Whorl. Cast cylindrical whorl with a central moulded aperture of diameter 11mm and crude moulded decoration on one flat side, possibly of pellets and lines, though grimly cast. The attempt at decoration may suggest this to be a home-made whorl of the post-medieval period, adapting decorative elements usually associated with biconvex whorls of that time. The mass suggests this would be used to ply cord. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1600.Diameter: 32.8mm, Thickness: 11.1mm, Weight: 60.35gms.
