Title
1; Spindle whorl, possibly Roman
Description
English: A complete cast lead spindle whorl of uncertain date, but probably Iron Age or Roman. It is flat and disc shaped with a hole in the centre. The whorl has two flat faces, and the sides are straight. This makes it a Coppergate type B1 (Rogers, 2007, page 25). One face has radial lines incised into it. Although type B1 continues in use through the 5th. 6th and 7th centuries, ornamentation on Anglo-Saxon whorls is rare (ibid). It is also possible that it is medieval, but most whorls of this period are believed to have been decorated with patterns in relief. It is light brownish-white in colour, the lead being well patinated. It has a diameter of 30.36mm and a weight of 41.30g. For more information see Cloth and Clothing in Early Anglo-Saxon England, Rogers, 2007.
