Description: | Lead spindle whorl. Cast plano-convex whorl with a central tapered moulded aperture of diameter 10.5mm at its widest, partly closed by later damage. The edge has a flat rim adjacent to its flat surface. Patinated overall. The form may be derived from that of biconvex whorls of early post-medieval date, and the object may have been cast using one of these to shape an open mould. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1600.Diameter: 27.4mm, Thickness: 13.1mm, Weight: 40.87gms.
