Title
lead spindle whorl
Description
English: A lead alloy spindle whorl of medieval to post-medieval date. The object is circular in plan and bi-conical in cross section. In the centre of the object is a circular perforation 11mm in diameter. On one face of the object the worn remains of raised line decoration is visible. The spindle whorl has a light grey/white patina.

Similar examples of spindle whorls have reportedly been found in contexts dated from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period although the majority are typically dated broadly to the medieval period c.1100-1500.
