Description: | Large copper-alloy thimble. The unthickened rim is decorated with a single groove. The straight sides and conical top are covered with a spiral of circular hand-made indentations; when viewed from the top, the spiral runs clockwise. There are some splits and folds in the rim showing that it has been made by the 'stamping and hammering' method. There is no maker's mark. 15th or 16th century. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1400
