Description: | A copper-alloy thimble, probably dating to the 16th century. The thimble is tall and rounded with a rounded top. The indentations in the thimble appear to be large circles. The indentations have been arranged in a spiral. This thimble has been cast as one piece. The thimble does not thicken around the base and there is no rim, but the base of the thimble is very worn and damaged. The copper alloy is in fact very thin. It is worn and the metal has lost much of its original surface. Several cracks have appeared in the copper alloy, where the metal has worn thin. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
