Description: | A copper-alloy open type thimble or 'sewing ring' of late medieval to early post-medieval date. The thimble measures 18.6mm diameter, and is 9.46mm thick (tall), weighing 3.88g. The walls is 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 undecorated other than the functional circular punched depressions, arranged fairly regularly in four rows. The metal has corroded to a mid-brown colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
