Lead spindle whorl. The whorl is probably a miscast item. The whorl has a very distorted biconical shape to it, and is decorated on one side with a non-standard pattern of lines and pellets; visible are four radiating lines, then a space, then two lines, a pellet, and then four radiating lines. Around approximately 50% of the edge of the whorl there is casting waste, which usually gets trimmed off the surface. The central hole is a distorted oval and the other face of the whorl is completely undecorated and pitted.

Lead spindle whorl. The whorl is roughly plano-convex however it is badly distorted and appears to retain some rough casting which would have been expected to be removed indicating that this is a mis-cast item; in particular there is a broken shank extending from the side of the whorl which appears to be part of the casting channel.
