Description: | A complete cast copper alloy domed or 'beehive' thimble dating to the fourteenth or fifteenth centuries AD. The sides taper inwards towards a domed apex. There is a small V-shaped ??nick?? on the rim. This feature is probably related to a manufacturing technique. The walls are punched with rows of circular indentations. The thimble measures 19mm in length and 19mm in diameter. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Walton, Phillippa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
