Title
Early medieval to early post-medieval spindle whorl
Description
English: A complete lead or lead alloy early medieval, medieval or early post-medieval decorated thick disc spindle whorl. The object is circular in plan, rectangular in cross-section and has a large central sub-circular hole. One surface is decorated with a star-like motif formed of raised lines creating triangular depressions, some of which contain a raised pellet. Decorated spindle whorls are normally associated with the medieval period, but they are normally biconical. Rectangular cross-sectioned whorls are common from AD c. 900 but can date as early as AD c. 700.

The dimensions are: external diameter 26.6mm, internal diameter 7.5mm, thickness 8.6 mm and weight 36.39g.
