Description: | An incomplete and heavily corroded copper-alloy sewing ring, probably dating from the late medieval or post-medieval periods. Length: 8.1mm; External diameter 18.3mm; wall thickness at the base: 1.0-1.5mm ; mass: 2.9g. On the exterior of the sewing ring there are a series of circular drilled or punched indentations. The surface condition is poor, but these appear to have been applied in a regular pattern, either a series of concentric circles or spirals. Some material has been lost around the top and base of the sewing ring. The ring has a pitted brown and green surface. In "Sewing Thimbles" (Finds Research Group 700-1700 datasheet 9), Holmes (1991, p1) states that ring type thimbles are found in Britain from about 1450.
