Description: | A copper-alloy thimble, 20mm in height with a rim diameter of 19mm. The thimble is fairly corroded, its rim is unthickened and undecorated, the side taper slightly towards the top and are decorated by oval indentations which are arranged in a spiral, the makers mark, which is usually at the beginning of this spiral, is no longer visible due to corrosion. The top of the thimble is slightly domed and has been pierced with three oval holes, perhaps these are due to a manufacturing flaw and were originally meant to be indentations, this seems especially likely as the holes fit within the spiral arrangement of the indentations and are the same size as them. Thimbles of this type are 16th century in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
