Description: | A cast lead alloy spindle whorl of uncertain date, probably Iron Age to Post Medieval, about 200 BC - 1600, but maybe is most likely to be Medieval.The whorl is disc shaped; circular with straight sides and has a circular central aperture of 9.1mm diameter. One face is decorated with five raised moulded lines which cross each other to form a pentagon round the central hole. The other face is somewhat hollow and may have been decoated with radial raised lines, but these are now very faint. There is a gouge in the edge of this face, probably recent damage.The whorl is 27mm diameter, 9.3mm thick and 37.35g. The shape can be classified as Coppergate Type B1 (Walton Rogers, 2007, page 25). Compare DENO-79B024.
