Description: | Complete cast copper alloy thimble. This object is circular in plan and domed in section with a slightly pointed crown. The circumference of the open end has a defined rim that appears unbroken but is of unequal thickness, giving the base a diagonal slant in profile. There is a triangular nick in the rim. The crown has a tiny plain circular portion with a single hand punched dot at its centre. The rest of the thimble is covered with concentric circles of similarly hand-punched dots that continue all the way to the rim. The punched dots are of similar size, but the pattern of rings is not uniform. The original surface survives with a dark green patina. It is 18.16mm long, has a rim diameter of 16.6mm. It weighs 6.48g. It is similar to Holmes??s Heavy duty type C (Finds Research Group Datasheet 9), and as such dates from the 15th to mid 16th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
