Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast lead spindle whorl or weight of uncertain date. The object is circular in plan with a flat base, rounded top and sides and a wide sub-circular central perforation. The object is undecorated. The metal is a mid whitish-brown colour and is worn. The object is 26.7mm in diameter, 9.3mm thick and weighs 22.6g.
