Description: | Lead spindle whorl. Cast sub-cylindrical whorl with a moulded aperture of diameter 9.1mm, Walton Rogers form B. Patinated overall. The aperture size may suggest an Anglo-Scandinavian rather than an earlier date, though this is a borderline case. The atypically light weight would make this object suitable for use spinning a yarn. Suggested date: early Medieval, 950-1050.Diameter: 18.9mm, Thickness: 7.7mm, Weight: 15.19gms.
