Description: | A domed copper alloy thimble with hand punched 'holes' [2mm in diameter] in a spiral. There is a plain 5mm border below the holes, at the open end. Holmes [Datasheet 9] suggests that domed thimbles are found in contexts dating from about 1350 but these early examples tend to have a bare patch at the top of the dome called a tonsure. The domed thimble, he says were not made much after the 1530s placing the Brill thimble sometime before that. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Moss, Jennifer | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
