Description: | Medieval copper alloy and rather worn thimble, with a 17.6mm diameter at the open end (internal 15.1mm diameter). It stands 13.7mm tall and weighs 3.86g.
The thimble is decorated with an incised line running around the bottom edge, which is in part damaged. Running vertically upwards from this are tiny punched holes, which is likely to indicate that the thimble was used for finer work rather than leather working.
The sides of the thimble slope inwards and is topped with a nipple. Where the top becomes rounded the indentiations run in concentric circles rather than vertical lines. The nipple is bare.
This thimble appears to be of Holmes' Fig.1c, which date between 1350 and 1450. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
