Description: | Medieval/Post Medieval copper alloy domed thimble. The thimble is relatively short, standing 15mm high with a diameter of 18mm. It weighs 3.86g. It has a pronounced peak on the crown. A border around the base of the thimble is created by a single incised line. The punched circular indentations are arranged in vertical lines from the base to the crown. These are small, suggesting that it was probably used for light needle work. The peak on the crown is undecorated.Date: 1350-1600 (Holmes, 1988).
