Description: | A copper-alloy thimble, probably dating to the 16th century. The thimble is rounded with a rounded crown. The indentations in the thimble appear to be short lines. The indentations have been arranged in five rows and have been done by hand. There are two rows of indentations on the crown of the thimble. 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 copper alloy is in fact very thin. It is worn and the metal has lost much of its original surface. Several cracks have appeared in the copper alloy, where the metal has worn thin. It is mid orangey brown in colour.
