An incomplete cast lead or lead alloy bi-convex decorated spindle whorl, of Roman to Post Medieval dating (c. AD 43 to c. AD 1650). The spindle whorl is sub circular in plan, and lentoid in cross section. Both faces have suffered from a moderate degree of abrasion, which has resulted in the loss of some of the decorative details. Any original decoration is hard to determine, but looks like a series of diagonal lines with a pellet motif in between on the upper face. The lower face appears plain and undecorated. The central hole is circular in shape and has been cast approximately cen…
