Description: | A copper-alloy open type thimble or 'sewing ring' of late medieval to early post-medieval date. The thimble measures 14.45mm max. across at the open top end, expanding to 15.8mm max. at the bottom. The base is also slightly splayed and angled. This is to allow an easier fit on the finger and is also chronologically diagnostic to the late medieval or early post-medieval periods (Holmes 1988, 3). The ring is undecorated other than the functional punches, arranged fairly regularly in four rows. The metal has corroded to a mid-brown colour.
