Description: | A copper alloy thimble which probably dates from the early post-medieval period. The thimble is 21.9mm high and has an external diameter of 18.2mm. It is of well-disguised two part construction. The rim is unthickened. Above is a band of incised diagonal lines, with two circumferential incised lines above. The lines are incised by hand. The side is covered with horizontal rows of deep circular indentations and there are three more circumferential incised lines at the top. The top of the thimble is a fairly steep dome which is decorated with evenly distributed, but not quite regular, concentric circles of deep circular indentations. It is likely that the thimble dates from before 1620 (Holmes 1988). It is in good condition apart from one small tear in the rim. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
