Title |
A Lead Weight or Spindle Whorl of Unknown Date |
||
Description |
English: A lead artefact of incertain date. This artefact is sub-spherical being circular in plan with a flattened top and base which gives the profile a sub-rectangular profile with convex curved sides. This item weighs 22.03g (0.78oz), has a diameter of 18.6mm and height of 12.1mm. A vertical circular perforation, straight sided, of 6.2mm diameter is present through the centre of the artefact. A shallow thin groove defines the two flat surfaces. Five ring and dot motifs of 2.6mm diameter decorate the external surface unequally spaced around the maximum girth of the diameter.
Discussion by Dr Kevin Leahy: "I don't like this as either a weight or a spindle whorl. While its shape would be appropriate for a whorl its diameter is too small to provide the necessary impetus for spinning. Neither its form, or its mass, fit in the pattern of Viking weights that we are seeing. By default therefore I think that this object is best seen as lead bead. We already have some of these on the" P.A.S. "database but people are, rightly coy about assigning dates to them. My suspicion is that" this "find is later Saxon/ Anglo-Scandinavian, a period during which beads were worn and lead jewellery was used". |
