| Title |
a cast lead spindle whorl of unknown date |
||
| Description |
English: A crudely cast lead spindle whorl of unknown date. It is bi-conical and has a large central perforation of 9.4mm diameter. Both upper and lower sides are decorated with faintly incised lines, some double, creating a star centred on the perforation. On neither side is this decoration complete. On one side there is also a faintly incised line running around the edge of the perforation. There is some minor damage around the rim of the perforation on one side. The whorl is 27.5mm in diameter and 24mm thick. It weighs 65.58gm. This shape of whorl can be characterised as a Coppergate type B3 (flat faces of equal size and carinated sides), a shape which is know from the Iron Age onwards. However, the central perforation is larger than is usual for Iron Age and Roman whorls (usually 4-8mm), so a Early Medieval or Medieval date is more likely (Walton-Rogers, 2007, page 25). There does not appear to be any cavity in the central perforation side wall. |
