Description: | A cast lead alloy spindle whorl dating from the Medieval to Post-Medieval periods, AD1200 - 1600. It is bi-convex, with a circular central perforation of diameter 8.9 mm and a thick median ridge. As is usual with this type of whorl, there is an indentation in the wall of the central perforation. One side is decorated with a pattern of radiating lines, now worn and difficult to discern; the other side has a design of random pellets, again very worn. The whorl has a light yellowish-grey patina. It is 26.3mm in diameter and 7.4mm thick. It weighs 24.19gm.
