Cast lead or lead alloy spindle whorl of Roman to Post Medieval date (1 - 1650 AD). The spindle whorl is broadly circular in plan and sub-rectangular in cross section. The central hole is circular and has been cast / set centrally (diameter of the hole measures 7.9mm). Both the upper and lower faces have been cast with similar decoration consisting of a exterior band of raised pellets. The edge of the whorl and part of the face shows signs of a criss-cross pattern, this is unlikely to be related to a design but more a relic of the casting in a rough weaved (possibly hessian-like cloth…

A lead alloy spindle whorl probably dating from the medieval period. It is circular and plano-convex, much more steeply angled on one face. Both faces are decorated with raised radial lines with pellets between them. There is also raised median rib. The cenral hole is large and sub-circular, with more wear on the shallower face. Decorated whorls are common finds but few come from dated contexts, but they are believed to be medieval. This one has a well developed white patina.

A lead alloy spindle whorl probably dating from the medieval period. It is circular and plano-convex. Both faces are decorated with raised radial lines with groups of pellets between them. There is also raised median rib. The central hole is large and sub-circular, with a very large circular depression in the wall, probably to fix the spindle to the whorl. Decorated whorls are common finds yet few come from dated contexts, but they are believed to be medieval. This one has a well developed creamy grey patina.

Record ID: SWYOR-2E8D56
Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead alloy probable spindle whorl of unknown date. It has an outer diameter of 28.7mm (with its central perforation having a diameter of 8.4mm) and is 8.8mm thick. It weighs 46.5gm. There is no obvious sign of decoration. The edges of the whorl are slightly rounded at the corners, but in section it is rectangular. Due to the lack of significant features it is difficult to date the whorl, however, plain examples similar to this are known from Roman and early Medieval contexts whereas decorated examples are generally believed to be Medieval. Compare also NARC-736167.
