Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead spindle whorl of probable medieval date (c. AD 1200 - 1500). Biconical with a central circular perforation. Each face exhibits a mouolded pattern of zig zags and radiating lines. Spindle whorls as an artefact type can be hard to date accurately as they remained in use for a long period of time. However, Alberti (2017) comments that biconical spindle whorls are rare in the Roman period and that those examples which are decorated are more likely to be Medieval.
