Description: | Large copper-alloy thimble in excellent condition. The rim is unthickened and undecorated. The straight sides and domed top are covered with a clockwise spiral of large hand-made circular indentations which vary slightly in size. The very top is bare of indentations, but this is almost completely filled with a circular hole 3 mm in diameter. Inside the rim are a few folds in the metal, showing that the thimble was made by the 'stamping and hammering' method. The dimensions at the rim are 20.5 x 23 mm, and the thimble is 21 mm tall. It dates to the 15th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
