Description: | Medieval thimble probably dating to the 14th (or 15th) century. The thimble is made of copper alloy and is short with fairly straight sides with an almost hemispherical top. The rim of the thimble is unthickened and has a thin groove close to the edge. The indentations on the side of the thimble are small and circular and are arranged in vertical rows that continue over the curve up to the top of the thimble. The centre of the top is bare of indentations apart from a single larger indentation in the centre (although this does not go through the thimble). The thimble weighs 3.82g and measures 15.74mm in height (length) and 19.35mm in diameter (across the rim).
