Description: | A copper-alloy open-top thimble, or 'sewing ring', of probable late medieval to early post-medieval date.
It is uncertain whether this thimble has been cast or made from a strip of metal. The object has a clear vertical join, with one end overlapping the other. It is possible that this is a later repair. At both the top and bottom edges is a pair of horizontal grooves. The rest of the surface is covered with columns of closely-spaced circular indentations. The upper edge is higher on one side than the other.
The thimble measures 16.5mm high, 17.5mm in diameter and has sides 1.6mm thick. The weight is 7.82g. | Subjects: | Open-ended/Sewing ring | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
