Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead Roman to post-medieval spindle whorl. The object is discoidal with rounded edges and perforated with a wide hole in the centre. This hole appears slightly worn at one side suggesting that the object was suspended at some point. The surface is hevaily pitted and scratched. Because the object lacks diagnostic features it could easily date from the Roman to Modern period. Diameter: 26.78mm, diameter of hole: 12.92mm, thickness: 12.76mm, weight: 35.51g

A cast lead spindle whorl of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is oval shaped in section with a large central circular perforation. Both hemispheres have extensive moulded decoration comprising five lozengiform bosses separated by multiple vertical ribs.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead medieval or post-medieval spindle whorl or weight. It is roughly hemispherical in shape with a circular hole through the centre. It survives in fairly condition with a pale oxidised patina, although the surfaces are heavily scratched and pitted. The object may have functioned as a weight, or more probably a spindle whorl. Most lead spindle whorls are Medieval or early Post-Medieval in date, although they were in use for a long period of time and when undecorated, like this example, are difficult to date more closely. Diameter: 17.8mm, thickness: 4.9mm, weight: 9.73g
