Both faces are decorated; one side is decorated with eight raised pellets with straight raised lines between them. The other face is worn and was possibly once decorated with a similar pellet and ridge design as the other side, however all that remains are the straight raised lines which radiate from the centraal perforation. a number of pellets and transverse ridges are visible. The spindle whorl is 27.3 mm in diameter, 11.1 mm thick and weighs 31.96 g.
