Description: | A copper-alloy thimble, probably dating to the 16th century.The thimble is tall and rounded with a rounded, flat top. The indentations in the thimble appear to be large ovals. The indentations have been arranged in a spiral. Below the indentations there is a groove running parallel to the base. This thimble has been cast as one piece. The thimble does not thicken around the base and there is no rim, but the base of the thimble is very worn and damaged. The base has also been slightly flattened. It is worn and the metal has lost some of its original surface. The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour.
