Description: | The thimble, in profile, has straight sides which taper slightly towards the top which is slightly convex. The rim is sub oval in plan due to the thimble being squashed. The exterior of the rim is undecorated except for a fine horizontal groove. From the rim you can see the thimble is made from one shell. The indentations are positioned in rows, close together. The indentations are conical shaped cells. The surface of the thimble has a patchy mid green coloured patina. The thimble measures 21.21mm tall, and 24.58mm wide at the base. It weighs 3.73g. The object is a late Medieval (1450-1550) thimble made from copper alloy. Holmes illustrates similar examples in figure 2b.
