A cast lead spindle whorl of the Medieval period, dating 1200-1500. The spindle whorl is biconical with a hole through the centre. Both faces are decorated in low relief in the same form. The decoration consists of a five-pointed star centred on the hole, with a dot in the centre of each arm. Outside the arms the star is outlined with parallel arms and dots in the spaces between the arms. Similarly decorated spindle whorls are known from excavations on medieval sites, for example the deserted medieval village of Thrislington (topsoil find; Austin 1989, 137, fig. 58.2).

A cast lead spindle whorl of Medieval date, c. 1200-1500. The spindle whorl is biconical with a hole through the centre. Each face is decorated, but differently. One face bears six panels separated by a raised line, with two panels each bearing in sequence one raised dot, two raised dots, and three raised dots. The oppositie side also bears six panels, but each of these contain four raised dots, and two parallel lines circumvent the central hole, connecting the dots and panels.

A cast lead spindle whorl of Medieval date, c. 1200-1500. The spindle whorl is biconical with a hole through the centre. Both faces are decorated, but differently. One face bears five raised lines radiating from the central hole to the outer edge, creating five equal-sized panels, each bearing three raised dots in a triangular arrangement. The outer edge of the spindle whorl is also raised. The opposite face bears four raised squares, each circumscribed outside the others in progressively larger sizes, and framing the central hole. Overlaying these squares are four raised lines rad…

A cast lead-alloy spindle whorl of Medieval date, c. 1200-1500. The spindle whorl is biconical with a hole through the centre. Each face is decorated in the same manner, with all decoration in relief. This decoration consists of a star-shape of five points formed by raised lines, with a slighly more prominent dot raised at each intersection of the lines. Between the rays of the star-shape are short sections of lines with another raised dot at the end.

A cast lead spindle whorl of Medieval date, c. 1200-1500. The spindle whorl is biconical, with a hole through the centre. Each face is decorated differently. One face bears an outer border consisting of lines in low relief at an angle, with a panel between the border and the central hole that is very worn, but appears to bear a series of shapes, that could possibly have once been letters. Only two of the shapes arae particularly clear, a circle with a pellet in its centre, and opposite the hole from this is an elongated hexagon with a line down its centre and a pellet in each half.…

A cast lead spindle whorl of Medieval date, c. 1200-1500. The spindle whorl is biconical, with a hold through the centre. Each face is decorated, though with minor differences. One face bears eight lines in relief radiating from the centre, creating separate panels, each with three raised dots arranged linearly parallel to the panel borders. The opposite face bear six lines in relief radiating from the centre, with four panels bearing two parallel columns of three raised dots, one panel of three raised dots in a column, and one wider panel that bear three columns of three raised dots.

A cast lead spindle whorl of Medieval date, c. 1200-1500. The spindle whorl is biconical with a hold through the centre. Each face is decorated with raised lines radiating out from the central hold, many of which are worn along with the face, creating an uncertain number of panels. Some panels consist of the raised lines being connected by horizontal raised lines, and some panels have at least one raised dot. Other panels appear to be undecorated. Unfortunately, the wear on the spindle whorl makes the number of panels and decorative scheme uncertain.
