Title
Decorated lead spindle whorl
Description
English: Spindle whorl; cast lead, sub-circular spindle whorl with cylindrical piercing hole in the centre. The whorl is decorated on one face with shallowly-incised lines forming broad bands of herringbone (or possibly foliate) design which radiate out from the central hole. The other face is undecorated. The lead is covered over all surfaces with a thick, chalky, white patina.

Diameter 28.8mm, thickness 10.4mm, weight 56.4g

Spindle whorls are very difficult to date as objects of similar design were in use for many centuries. Lead spindle whorls have been dated to all times between the Roman period and the early Post Medieval period.
