Lead probable spindle whorl. Cast whorl of plano-convex profile with an off-centre moulded aperture of diameter 13.3mm. A rim around the hole is defined on both sides. The convex side bears surface irregularities which might suggest this to have been cast using one side of a biconical decorated whorl to form the mould in which this was made. The mass suggests a primary function plying cord. Another example of a copied whorl was reported along with this one from the same general location. Patinated. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1600. Diameter: 40.6mm, Thickness: 8.7mm, Weight…

Lead probable spindle whorl. Cast plano-convex whorl with a moulded central aperture of diameter 11.9mm. The convex face bears blurred relief decoration incorporating lines and pellets, and indicates that this object has been cast in a mould made by impressing one half of a biconical whorl into a medium such as clay. Another similarly crude copy of a biconvex whorl was reported along with this example. The mass tends to point to a primary function plying cord. The metal retains a grey tint, confirming a relatively recent date for this object. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1600. …
