Description: | A squashed and corroded copper-alloy thimble of probable late medieval or early post-medieval date.
The method of manufacture for this thimble is uncertain: it appears too thin to have been cast and may have been stamped out. The top is domed and, apart from a plain band at the bottom, the outer surface is completely covered with closely-spaced rows of circular punch marks.
The object measures 16.5mm high, 19.1mm wide and has walls 0.7mm thick. The weight is 3.15g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
