Description: | A copper-alloy thimble, dating to the 15th - 16th century. The thimble is short with a rounded top. The indentations in the thimble appear to be circular. The indentations have been arranged in a spiral. This thimble has been cast as one piece. The thimble does not thicken around the base and there is no rim. The copper alloy is in fact very thin. It is worn and the metal has lost much of its original surface. The metal is a dark greyish-brown colour. Parallels can be seen in Egan (2005), p132, fig: 126.Thimble height = 15.93mm. The rim thickness = 0.88mm.
