Description: | Copper alloy cast thimble, dating to the 14th-15th century. This type of thimble is sometimes known as a sewing ring due to the open top and were particularly common during the 15th century. The thimble has a slightly thickened rim with a second collar just above the rim (and a groove between them). The thimble has straight, slightly sloping sides with quite large sub-rectangular indentations. There are five rings of indentations. The top of the sewing ring again has a double rim. The object measures 17.9mm in height and 22.3mm in diameter at the rim and weighs 6.66g.
