A cast lead or lead-alloy spindle whorl of Roman to Post Medieval date (1 - 1650 AD), most probably Medieval (AD 1200-1450). The spindle whorl is broadly circular in plan and has a low bi-convex cross section / profile. The hole has been cast slightly off centre. The spindle whorl is undecorated. There is an even mid-brown patina across the surface and a lighter grey/brown patina where the surface has been abraded. Spindle whorls are used for a long period of time and as such are very difficult to date precisely without other evidence (such as pottery). The design on this example i…
