Description: | Copper alloy thimble, hand made with irregular indentations. These are set in vertical columns on the flanks and in lines on the rounded apex. There are two grooves around the base. The 1.5mm thick metal section suggests that the thimble was cast, not pressed. Holmes, (Finds Research Groups Datasheet 9) suggests a date of c. 1400-1550 for thimbles of this type. Height 18.9mm, Diameter 24.2mm, Mass 8.35g.
