A spindle whorl made from a circular cast lead medieval papal bulla of Pope Urban V (AD 1362-1370). The bulla has been deliberately defaced or reused by piercing/cutting a large circular perforation through the centre. The hole is irregular and positioned off centre, respecting the heads of Peter and Paul and the inscription above. The bulla measures 33.29mm in diameter, the central hole has a diameter of 8.82mm, 5.81mm in thickness, and weighs 35.88g.  The front of the bulla shows the name of the pope, written in the nominative, with his abbreviated title: PP: Pastor …

A complete but heavily abraded and corroded cast lead or lead alloy spindle whorl of Medieval to Post Medieval date (1150 - 1650 AD), most probably Medieval (AD12300 -1600). The spindle whorl was originally broadly circular in plan and bi-convex in cross section. A central hole is present which has a diameter of approximately 11mm in diameter, Both faces of the whorl are decorated - although one face is poorly preserved. The overall design seems to consist of radiating lines which intersect a circumferential ring creating a crude spiderweb patten. A series of cast pellets are present …

A stone spindle whorl of probable later Iron Age or Roman date (400 BC - AD 300). The spindle whorl is circular in plan and rectangular in profile. It has been carefully chipped and ground from what seems to be a coarse micaceous sandstone. Through the middle of the whorl is a circular shaped hole set slightly off centre; the hole has straight sides and it has an approximate diameter of 7.5mm. The whorl is undecorated and is relatively unabraded with crisp fresh edges. The whorl is a grey brown colour. Spindle whorls are used for a long period of time and as such are very difficult to…

An incomplete fragmnet from a heavily abraded and eroded cast lead or lead alloy spindle whorl of Roman to Post Medieval date (1 - 1650 AD), most probably Medieval (AD1200 -1600). The spindle whorl fragment is heavily distorted through movement - originally it would have been broadly circular in plan and bi-convex in cross section; it is now C shaped and the two broken edges are heavily eroded. Both faces of the whorl are decorated - but the design is lost. The spindle whorl has a cream - mid-grey coloured surface patina. Spindle whorls are used for a long period of time and as such a…
