Description: | A Medieval cast copper alloy domed thimble with central hole (14th - 15th century). The circular pits were hand-drilled in irregular rings with care as none have completely perforated the copper alloy. There is an engraved line that forms a border between the edge and the pits. There is no maker's mark. Dimensions: diameter: 16.24mm; length: 10.75mm; weight: 3.64g.Reference: Egan, G. 1988. The Medieval Household - Medieval finds from excavations in London. HMSO. London pp.266-267
