Description: | Lead spindle whorl. Cast plano-convex whorl with a central moulded aperture of diameter 10.8mm, though burred over on the convex lower side, with strongly moulded vertical ribs which descend from a circumferential rim to divide the wall into rectilinear compartments. Patinated. The decorative division of the wall recalls then linear conventions for decorating biconvex whorls, and a similar date is suggested. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1600.Diameter: 25.8mm, Thickness: 10.7mm, Weight: 33.74gms
