Description: | A complete copper alloy 14th century thimble, 16mm in height and with a rim diameter of 18mm. The rim is thickened and decorated with two circumference grooves. The sides are straight and decorated with vertical rows of small circular indentations. The top is pointed and decorated with horizontal rows of circular indentations, except in the centre of the top, which is bare with a single circular hole at its tip, this hole is now filled with soil but probably originally went through the tip of the thimble. This is often called a 'tonsured crown'. This thimble is in good condition and not very worn. | 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: | 1300
