Description: | 1: A copper-alloy thimble, with a height of 14mm and a rim diameter of 18mm. The rim is bent and incomplete, the remains of a circumference groove can be seen. The sides are fairly straight and are decorated with circular shaped indentations which are arranged in a spiral. The spiral terminates at the rounded top which has a incised square in its centre.
2: One bent copper-alloy thimble inside another one. These thimbles are squashed almost flat, the outer thimble measures 19mm in height. The rim is unthickened and The sides decorated with circular indentations arranged in a spiral. The top of this outer thimble is missing, probably due to wear. Through the hole the top of the second inner thimble can be seen, this one is also worn and again circular indentations arranged in a spiral can be seen. Both of these thimbles are most likely to be 16th century in date, due to the fact that the indentations are arranged in a spiral, and the tops are fairly flat. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
