Description: | A copper-alloy thimble of medieval to early post-medieval date (see Holmes, p. 1).
The thimble is now badly damaged but would originally have been of circular section, tapering towards the low, domed top. The outer surface is entirely covered with rows of closely-spaced punched circular indentations. This outer surface has a dark green patina, while the inner surface is corroded. It is unclear as to whether the thimble has been made by casting or stamping.
The artefact measures 15.1mm high, 23.4mm wide and weighs 4.34g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
