Description: | Copper alloy light duty domed thimble from circa 1350-1500. It is 14mm in height, 14mmx12mm in diameter and weighs 2.40g. There is a small notch in the rim which may be damage. However, such notches are often seen. Their function is uncertain but they may have been designed to hold the thimble in place whilst finnishing on a lathe (Holmes 1991). Around the base of the thimble are two incided lines. Small circular indentations are arranged in verticle lines from this decoration to the crown. After 1500 indentations are usually arranged in spirals (Holmes 1991). The crown is bare and a little pointed. On the very top is a circular indentation, larger than those on the sides. The object is similar to those given in figure 1 in Holmes (1991).
