Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A decorated byconical lead spindle whorl with traces of decoration on both faces. The decoration consists of chevrons and pellets. The pattern resembles whorls dating from the Roman to Medieval period (Bailey 2008, 71-77). The use of spindle whorls spans from the Iron Age through to the Early Post Medieval period (Margeson 1993, 184). The size of the central perforation can be an indicator of date with larger perforations being indicative of an early-medieval to post-medieval date (Rogers 2007, 23-24). Lead spindle whorls also became more popular from the 13th century onwards and it i…

A decorated byconical lead spindle whorl with traces of decoration on both faces. The nature of the pattern is not discernable but appears to include pellets.
