In the centre is a straight sided circular hole which is 7mm in diameter. The spindle whorl is undecorated and has a uniform white patina. Diameter: 16.9 mm Thickness: 6.8 mm Weight: 6.9 g This is rather small for a whorl, but may possibly have been designed to be used by a child. It is of Walton Rogers form B, and therefore probably dates to c. A.D.1000 - 1200

County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead possibly Spindle whorl of possible Iron Age date, about 800 BC - AD 50. If it is a spindle whorl, it is of Walton Rogers Form C1 which has no flat faces and curved sides. This example is sub-spherical. Alberti notes that globular (in which she includes spherical) whorls are uncommon. The central hole has a diameter of 8mm. This is consistent with Walton Roger's suggests range of 4-8mm for Iron Age and Roman whorls, and she also notes that spherical whorls cease to be used in the Roman period. The object has a well developed brown patina. It is 21.9mm tall, 26.2mm diameter and 6…

Early Medieval lead alloy spindle whorl, 23 mm in diameter, 6 mm thick and weighing 8.74g. The object is roughly circular in form and a shallow D shape in cross section. It has a central circular hole 4 mm in diameter. The form of the object suggests it could be a poorly made spindle whorl which would match Walton Rogers form A1, but the hole is quite small so perhaps a flat wight is a more probable identification?
