Description: | A copper alloy thimble which is probably late medieval. The rim is extremely damaged with most of it missing and cracks running up the sides. There is a double incised line round the base. The sides are decorated with vertical lines of hand punched circular impressions which continue onto the top of the thimble but in an irregular pattern. The thimble is of single piece construction and the top is fairly steeply domed. The thimble is 21.8mm high and has a diameter of 19.5mm. Parallels in McConnel's "Collector's Guide to Thimbles" suggest a fifteenth century date.
