Description: | The shape of the rim in plan is sub-circular. The thimble appears to be appear of two layers of copper alloy. The internal shell has vertical folds and creases, and is the thicker of the two layers. The surface of the interior is also slightly pitted, suggesting it may have been hammered. The external layer is thinner, has circular indentations and a single groove around the rim. The apex of the thimble is plain, complete and rounded. The indentations from the top of the thimble are relatively evenly spaced in rows. However as the indentations progress towards the rim these rows become more irregular until it becomes a random pattern. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
