EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Spindle Whorl from The West Yorkshire Hoard. Discovered in Leeds Metropolitan District by a metal detectorist in 2008/2009, this hoard consisted of seven Anglo-Saxon objects that shed light on the intricate craftsmanship of this era. Amongst the treasures found were four exquisite gold rings, two of which are considered to be of the highest quality for their time. Additionally, fragments of a gold brooch and ingot were unearthed alongside this lead spindle whorl. Each artifact tells its own story and adds to our understanding of Anglo-Saxon culture. The detailed filigree designs on these artifacts are truly awe-inspiring. The delicate patterns etched into each ring showcase the skill and artistry possessed by ancient craftsmen. This particular spindle whorl stands out with its unique design, serving as both an archaeological marvel and a testament to human creativity.
