Description: | A cast copper-alloy thimble of probable early post-medieval date. Similar thimbles have been found in excavations in London, in layers dating from the 16th to 17th centuries AD (see Egan, 2005, p. 131-3).
The thimble sides converge towards the low, domed top. Apart from a plain band at the bottom, the thimble is entirely covered with closely-spaced rows of irregular indentations.
The thimble is squashed, torn and heavily corroded. It measures 21.4mm high, 23.4mm wide and 10.6mm thick. The weight is 4.11g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
