Out at the minute, and this lead item just come up.
Initially I thought it may be part of a spindle whorl, but it doesn't seem correct shape. Somebody else suggested a lead gaming piece?

Any thoughts or suggestions would be gratefully received!

Probably a whorl if the hole is tapered?

I shall double check....

That said, I have never seen a whorl this shape though?

Had another look at the item and the hole appears to be straight....

I have not seen a whorl that shape before either but the hole looked the right size, maybe a decorative weight then of some type as a guess? :D
