Medieval lead spindle whorl, bi-conical with central perforation, both faces decorated in counter-relief with a ring of zig-zag and a pellet in each triangular space. Diameter 25mm. Thickness 15mm. Perforation diameter 10mm. Weighing 43.84g. A roughly similar example was excavated from an early 16th-century context at the Augustinian Friary, Leicester, complete with its wooden spindle (Mellor and Pierce 1981, 139-40, fig.51 no.71). It is possible that the object was residual, but it is unlikely to have been very ancient when deposited in the context, in view of its completeness. Later…

Medieval lead biconical spindle whorl dating to the period c. AD 1100 - 1500. Biconical in form with a central circular perforation which exhibits traces of wear around the edges. Each surface exhibits moulded decoration in the form of a series of moulded zig zag lines with moulded pellets between. Spindle whorls can be difficult to date due to the fact that their general form changed very little over time. However, Alberti (2017) comments that biconical spindle whorls are rare in the Roman period. Those examples which are decorated are more likely to be Medieval. Finders ref:…
