Title: Is this also Viking?
Post by: BottyBurp (Kris) on November 09, 2008, 06:00:50 PM
This was found just a few feet away from the Viking Stirrup Mount.
Diameter = 33mm, coned in shape with the same pattern on both sides.

Looks like a nicely decorated spindle whorle to me. Who's to say its not Viking though? Could be as the patterning looks similar.

Well found

Neil
