Description: | Two-piece thimble made from sheet copper alloy. It is impressed with small circular indentations on the upper half of the thimble, above a wide band which is delineated by two engraved lines, one 3 mm below the indentations and the other 8 mm below. Within these lines is a very faint floral pattern running around the circumference of the thimble. In one section, there are the letters D L beneath the pattern, which could be the ??cartouche?? with the owner??s initials within. Any other lettering is illegible. The top of the thimble is missing and the base of the thimble is nicked and bent. It dates to the late 17th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
