Description: | Complete Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper alloy thimble with sloping sides and a domed top, 1400-1600 AD. The thimble has been folded flat, and as such has sustained considerable damage to the domed top. The sides of the thimble are covered in a spiral of drilled circular pits: it is impossible to discern whether this done by hand or machine-made. Whether or not the top was textured is impossible to tell as it has folded flat and is badly concreted. The rim of the thimble is plain with no evidence of notches. The thimble has a dark red-brown patina, and is almost covered in concretion. It measures 25.1mm long, 29.7mm wide and 6.9mm thick; it weighs 4.8 grams.
