Lead spindle whorl. particularly interesting (See 'additional info'.)

---

The picture shows two lead spindle whorls, the lower one is misshaped, obviously the mould broke while the lead was still hot. Clearly wherever this was found must have been where they were made. This field has produced around 20 spindle whorls, all same pattern.
