Description: | Cast copper alloy thimble with sloping sides and a steeply domed top with a central hole. The hole is surrounded by a bare tonsure below which are three uneven concentric circles of hand drilled circular pits, below these are uneven diagonal lines of pits running down the sides to the thickened rim which is decorated with two horizontal incised grooves. There is one notch in the rim which maybe the result of later damage. The central hole suggests it was made by hand stamping from sheet metal. It is similar to Egan (1998) pp.266-7, No.824 and to Holmes (1988) p. 1 Fig 1b which is dated 1350-1450 AD. It measures 14.5mm in length and is 1.5mm thick on the body. The diameter is 17.6 at the rim and it weighs 3.97 grms.
