A post medieval crudely cast lead alloy object, probably intended for use as a loom weight or spindle whorl, dating to c. AD 1450 - 1600. The object broadly resembles Walton Rodgers form A1 or A2, being sub-circular in plan with one flat face and tapering curved sides. This creates an uneven cone, in plan it is assymetrical due to sprue on one side. The central perforation is countersunk on both faces, with a resulting constriction in diameter; 9 mm narrowing to 6 mm. There are traces of moulded decoration in the form of lines and chevrons on the…

A complete cast lead alloy biconical spindle whorl of post-medieval date, c. AD 1500-1800. Both surfaces are decorated with moulded radial lines separating the outer surfaces into six fields, each containing three pellets, as well as one motif of a chevron pattern of three converging lines pointing towards the whorl's central perforation. This perforation is moulded rather than drilled, is c. 10 mm in diameter, and is slightly distorted  rather than perfectly cylindrical, probably due to post-depositional damage. The outer whorl has a narrow …

A complete cast lead spindle whorl of late to post medieval period, (c. AD 1450 - 1600).  The spindle whorl is biconical with a central perforation and decorated on both sides. One side has a pattern of pellets arranged in three rings, the inner and outer rings being in sync with each other and the middle ring of pellets being offset between the inner and outer ring.  The reverse side is worn, though in places raised ribs can be seen but too few to determine any geometric design. The spindle whorl has a cream coloured patina with some dark patches on the reverse and arou…

A complete, but mis-cast lead spindle whorl of late medieval to post-medieval date (c. AD 1400-1750). The whorl is biconical with a filled central perforation (approx. 11mm), likely the result of a problem in the casting process. One face is decorated with 7-8 pellets, while the other side features a design of lines in a 'zig-zag' or star pattern around the circumference, with pellets in the gaps. The object has a white patina with some brown patches, and has some superficial damage on both faces. Though this object could not have been used as a spindle whorl, it shows evi…

Both sides have a raised lip that circulates along the outside, from this lip radiates a triangular pattern similar to those found on post medieval spindle whorls. The perforation has an internal diameter of 9.91mm. Although the spindle whorl has broad date range it is more likely to be dated to the medieval period rather than a later date. This is suggested through the large perforation and the crude design. Indeed, the triangu…

A cast lead spindle whorl, probably of medieval date. It is bi-convex with a narrow circumferential rim. One surface is decorated with raised pellets arranged concentrically, ten in one circle, sixteen in the outer. The other surface has raised hatching. The central perforation is evenly formed and is 11 mm in diameter. Overall diameter is 29 mm, thickness 9 mm. Weight is 32.3 g. Spindle whorls are used for a long period of time and as such are very difficult to date precisely without an established context. This style of decoration is most commonly seen on bi-convex whorls date…

A cast lead alloy spindle-whorl, probably of medieval date. The object is bi-conical with a broad circumferential rim. Both surfaces are decorated with moulding: Four large pellets or knobs, between each is a cruciform shape having pellets at the end of each arm. There is a linear dent running across one surface. The well formed central perforation has a diameter of 9 mm. Spindle whorls are difficult to date but bi-conical ones are normally attributed to the medieval period. The cruciform decoration is also suggestive of a medieval date. The weight of 75.6 g may indicate this was u…

A cast lead alloy spindle whorl probably of medieval date. It is cylindrical with a conical top bearing incised decoration in the form of radiating lines. The base is flat with a countersunk central hole. The central whole is 11 mm in diameter, suggesting a date of tenth century or later (Walton Rogers 2007, p 26) The bun-shape of the object resembles Coppergate Form B. Overall diameter is 28 mm, thickness 14 mm, weight 50.4

A cast lead alloy spindle whorl probably of early medieval date. It is very flattened, resembling Coppergate form A, One face is more conical, the other plano-convex. Both faces have moulded decoration; the conical face has four arrow heads alternating with raised pellets. The arrow heads alternately point inwards to the centre and outwards to the rim. The flatter face has a raised circle around the circumference, enclosing a double circle of raised pellets. There are some dents and marks to this face, possibly post-depositional. The entire object has a creamy buff patina. The cent…

A lead medieval spindle whorl. Cast biconical, with central moulded aperture of 9.4 mm. One face has a series of lines in relief around it, which appear to form a five pointed star, with a single pellet between each section. See YORYM-7D3D07 for a similar whorl. The other side has what appears to be just a random series of raised lines. Biconical spindle whorls are normally attributed to the medieval period. Overall, the object measures 28.6 mm in diameter and 9.9 mm thick. It weighs 35.55 g.
