Description: | Copper alloy thimble, tall with slightly sloping sides and a slightly convex top. There is a band around the base between two lines of milling, with a stamped floral motif made up of six pellets and a central pellet within a circle of pellets. The holes are hand-punched and are arranged in uneven horizontal rows on the sides and a spiral on the top. There are two opposing pierced holes in the rim, which is torn in one place. This is a sixteenth century Nuremberg thimble, made in one piece from thin brass sheet. The maker's mark is just visible as a stamped five-pointed star on the bottom row of holes.
