Description: | A copper-alloy open type thimble or 'sewing ring' of late medieval to early post-medieval date. The thimble measures 18mm in diameter at the open top end, expanding to 21mm at the bottom. It has a height of 7mm. The base is also slightly splayed and angled. This is to allow an easier fit on the finger and is also chronologically diagnostic to the late medieval or early post-medieval periods (Holmes 1988, 3). The ring is decorated with functional punches, arranged fairly regularly in three rows. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Walton, Phillippa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
